Is heart palpitations from low magnesium dangerous?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually not: They type of palpitations with low magnesium are usually more benign such as PACs and PVCs, but it does depend on the individual. Ideally having a monitor during the palpitations will help confirm if significant issue.
