No: Do not take medication or supplements of magnesium without talking to your doctor. It could be harmful.

PVC and magnesium: Magnesium can help PVCs. The dose of magnesium you mention is relatively low; food is not going to over-dose you with magnesium. Richest foods are spinach, kale, nuts, seeds, rice, quinoa, banana, peach, mango, yogurt.
