Would compression brace help calf cramps and how does it help? Magnesium helped me some too. Any other suggestions for things to try that are over the counter? No blood clots. Potassium and Magnesium were within normal range by labs.

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.
