Even when your serum magnesium is normal, we can't be sure of the level of intracellular magnesium. I have started with doses of 200 mg of magnesium glycinate( may cause less diarrhea) daily and titrated up to 600 mgs daily in patients on diuretics. Check serum levels at this dose range though. Very high doses of magnesium can be dangerous. I think 200 mgs is a.good starting dose for you.

I was diagnosed with MVP and PVC's after having severe anxiety attacks. My cardiologist wasn't very helpful and told me, "it's not a big deal and to just get over it, that I would be fine." I'm still worried that my heart will just stop so I'm to scared
