A member asked:

Can magnesium, calcium or zinc supplements for osteomalacia affect heart negatively as a patient with arrhythmia & occasional high pressure in lungs?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No, not likely: These supplements are fairly harmless. They are not known to affect your heart in anyway. So you can continue to take them as needed.
