Welcome to the forum Holly. I think somehow your post has been missed by everyone because we never leave posts unanswered. Yes, magnesium can sometimes really help with ectopics, a doctor who most of us know on this site Sanjay Gupta who works at York Hospital in the UK recommends taking this. I'll try and find the link to has recent YouTube post and put it here.

Hi Holly, this is Sanjays latest post on magnesium a few days ago. You've probably seen it. I think only available to friends of Sanjays on Facebook:

facebook.com/york.cardiolog...

I think he is absolutely amazing and he genuinely wants to help people.

I've tried just about everything that's ever been recommended on this forum and I think deep breathing can really help. Have you ever watched one of Sanjays live Facebook broadcasts? I tell you that man is a saint!
