Magnesium Supplements for Anxiety - Need help finding the right one

[xavier65]

Hello all,

I'm looking for magnesium supplements to get rid of following conditions:

1-Palpitations (strong forceful beats; especially after eating sugar)

2-Muscle twitching (Widespread, like BFS)

3-Maintaining blood sugar balance and preventing rollercoasters

4-Getting rid of "racing thoughts", good sleep and less frequent headaches.

I have been highly stressed over a long period, and have also been using high caffeinated drinks too, both known to deplete body's magnesium stores.

Which forms of magnesium supplements can I use? I have a blood pressure around 90/70, and magnesium supplements are known to reduce it. But I don't want to further reduce it. How can I benefit from magnesium supplements without reducing my blood pressure too much?

Thanks in advance 🙂🤘

I would be inclined to reduce the amount of sugar and caffeine you consume before trying anything else. My cardiologist told me to eliminate caffeine, as it can cause palpitations. If you drink a lot of caffeine, I would reduce it gradually, as rapid withdrawal can cause headaches.

I take a magnesium and zinc supplement before bed. I read that it is best to take them together and seperate from other vitamins.

I'm not sure it's something we can deal with, we aren't doctors or pharmacists. You would be better to see a professional about this. There are so many variables.
