Rice: Rest, ice, are probably first line. Take some ibuprofen or naproxen (over the counter dosage is probably fine) if not allergic. If getting worse despite basic treatment then time to get seen

Worried that Ive been taking too many magnesium supplements. Daily intake 400-800 mg a day. Epsom salt baths on top of it. Heart rate is in bradycardia range. Any correlation? Or would I have other symptoms of magnesium overdose first.
