Feeling much better with Magnesium Citrate and an anti-depressant

3 Replies

After 45 years of suffering frequent PVC's I met a doctor who suggested magnesium citrate. I also dragged out the last report from my cardiologist who recommended an anti-depressant, advice which I had previously ignored. So I have been taking both for a few weeks now - 400 mg of Magnesium Citrate (not the phosphate or carbonate or sulphate just the plain citrate) and one 5mg Escitalopram. It's been only a few weeks not but I haven't felt this good in decades. I actually think I am breaking the destructive PVC's cause anxiety which causes depression which causes more anxiety and more PVC'S etc.

From getting hundreds of these every day I have gone down to less than a couple of dozen and no longer spend every waking hour monitoring my heartbeats. Instead of feeling every heartbeat every day I feel like everyone else whose hearts tick away unnoticed in the background. The anti-depressant is non-addictive too.

Hope this helps some of you.

Regards Cliff from Australia.

Hey

I am from Slovenia and I am tired of missing beats . I also take mg and it really helps but sometimes it is still very bad. Last week was awful. Pressure in mychest every day for many hours, more than 10 skipped beats per minute. Otherwise I sleep very well and I do not feel them at night. I am thinking to start with antidepr. even I am not depresive. How do you feel and what kind of antidep. is Escitalopram.( not known here ) I wish you all the best.
