magnesium supplements

[GarrBo]

Hello all

I have been affected by A/F for over 30 years and was wondering about magnesium supplements. How is magnesium supposed to help A/F and does it have any unwelcome interactions with prescribed medicines?

It calms you down and helps you sleep. i have AF and take magnesium taurate every day

There's a post called Newly Diagnosed from a newbie called MeanDog, with a long reply from someone about Mg, you might seek that out. It's v interesting.

Magnesium deficiency has been linked to an increased risk of AF. However, taking supplements, even if deficient, won't necessarily improve your AF.Having stated that, my cardiologist advised me to take magnesium supplements at my first appointment. Even though doing so didn't seem to improve my AF he wanted me to continue taking them. So almost 6 years on and I'm still taking them. They're also good for other reasons so worth discussing with your medical professional.
