A member asked:

For the experts - might taking magnesium stop my paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia?

Nope: Sorry. Doesn't work like that. The amount of mag you'd have to take to affect your heart at all would give you such diarrhea as you've never encountered, and it still wouldn't get that rhythm to stop.
