Specializes in Integrative Medicine

Depends: You may consider potassium magnesium aspartate in combination with taurine. Make sure you see a cardiologist to rule out serious heart problems. But if not cause can be found, chances are it may be an electrolyte imbalance. Potassium and magnesium are commonly low.
