I take magnesium taurate pills now, but had been taking magnesium oxide for years (I am now 72). My "mag" level did not go up into the normal range until I changed to mag taurate (oh, my BP went down as well). I do think it helps minimize my AFIB episodes. As-far- as triggers go, I think in my case that it may be caused by bloating after eating certain foods, or it results from swallowing too much air, particularly when I am using a CPAP machine. I feel that the air in my stomach pushes up against my diaphram and sometimes causes the AFIB event. I used to go to the ER or call an ambulance to take me the the ER whenever I had a bad event. Now I just try to stay at home and relax, do breathing exercises (and burp alot) and massage my neck arteries to get back to normal rythym. This has been working for me and I don't end up spending hours and hours in the ER or ICU needlessly. I take Multaq, Toprol and the magnesium which, for the most part, is helping me. I won't get an ablation or pacemaker cuz I am chicken and I am told that the ablation procedure could take hours before they burn the right area...Forget that! AFIB is very disconcerting and can be debilitating (I feel very tired when it happens). I can certainly tell it is happening without needing an EKG. I can easily feel my heart rate changing up and down and have an unusual feeling in my guts. Lastly, it can come on very quickly without any warning. Good luck and hope to all that suffer from this. God Bless!

My first a-fib was in 1995, paraxismal which means it comes and goes, then constant (persistent, permanent) for a year and three months now. I am highly symptomatic with chest pain and short of breath that keeps me confined at times. I had ablation (freezing method) over two years ago but it failed. A-fib contributed to mitral valve and tricuspid valve leakage getting worse causing heart failure so now I’m waiting to get these valves fixed. I’m on blood thinner to avoid the stroke because of a-fib is known to cause stroke. Last year, I had to hold blood thinner for a surgery and did have a mini stroke. For those who are new dealing with a-fib, please google for information on a-fib. Drs say earlier you seek treatment and get out of it, better prognosis you’ll have. They recommend ablation as early as possible and so far, studies show for those who had ablation,, converted to SR ( reg. rhythm) stays in it

Hi- just found your channel. I’ve had a paroxysmal fib for about 28 years. Had four ablations over the last four years. One of my triggers is cold beverages or cold food. I don’t drink, smoke or take any other drugs. Ive had a few minor episodes this year. The last four months, I’ve been using magnesium oil at bed time and switched from fish oil to krill oil. Seems like that’s helped quite a bit. Also cutting out sugar and losing 20lbs hasn’t hurt.
@AP-bo1if3 жыл бұрын
IMHO, try magnesium AND potassium. I noticed everyone talks about magnesium levels but potassium is just as important if not more important for afib. lots of things can affect potassium levels. for example if you're on D3 supplements, this can increase retention of potassium, leaving you at risk for afib. person needs between 3000-5000 mg of potassium and the older you are, it's better to maintain that level around 1500 mg of potassium supplements and get the rest through diet. so get the HIGHER DOSE potassium. Potassium chloride works well, also citrate and others that work probably work better but are more expensive. There are drug interactions to watch out for so if you take certain medications so I would take potassium at different/later times in the day. Also I would try drinking a small teaspoon of himalayan sea salt every one to two days to balance out the sodium. Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, all these electrolytes work together so the heart is synchronized and pumps well.

Hey brother... I was also was diagnosed with paroxysmal AFIB at 35. I'm now 48. I usually get an episode once or twice a year. I know I had Afib episode's in my late 20's just based on the feeling I learned to recognize now later on in life after the diagnosis. I just didn't know it before. I can say this.... I am a big "drinker".. Meaning Alcohol and I have gotten a few episodes of afib from heavy drinking but like "Heavy all day drinking" from the hard stuff not wine or beer. Like Tequila or Vodka all day. But I am also super athletic and workout everyday. But without fail drinking very cold fluids too fast or Head cold medications literally put me in Afib right away! With that being said I have been consistently daily loading on Magnesium / Potassium supplements every day for a year now. I have always had ectopic beats and I had one Ablation procedure in 2019 which did not work. I went Afib 9 months later (drank a glass of ice water too fast). My Doc recommended another ablation. And i told him the Magnesium supplements made me fell much better. He said " It can't hurt" and walked out of the room.....

For heart issues specifically, I'd think magnesium taurate would be the best bet, as taurine not only has a direct benefit on the heart, but also helps balance fluid and electrolytes inside the cells, which can further benefit the heart rhythm. I personally get more PVC's when I'm dehydrated.

First of all, there is no big profit margins in the sale of magnesium to allow for expensive clinical trials. Second of all, no attempt has ever been made to separate patients with A fib as a result of emotional issues. Third, it is not what you take as a supplement but rather what you absorb. Just because you take a supplement does not mean it will help with A fib in a meaningful way. All magnesium is compound and different compounds are adsorbed differently. The very best is magnesium orotate but unfortunately it is the most expensive. Some forms will create diarrhea and so obviously these are to be avoided. One good way to absorb magnesium is in a Epsom Salt Bath (magnesium Sulfate) which contains about 10% Magnesium. However, I personally use Bis-Glycinate as part of a whole food diet, exercise and adequate quality sleep. I believe that adding plenty of dark leafy greens is a good idea but understand that produce today does not have near the amount of the trace minerals that it did 50 years ago and further I believe this is where much of the A fib problem has begun along with the deteriorating diet known as the "SAD" Diet. No supplement can adequately replace quality grown produce.

@plast1172 жыл бұрын
Mg glycinate made a big difference for me, but it took a few months. For that reason, I wouldn't expect short-term clinical studies to show a benefit. In my case, I was able to monitor progress using a Polar exercise heart monitor that captured R-R interval continuously. I could thus see arrhythmia. Thus, I was able to see that when I slept, I had afib a couple times a night even when I had eliminated it during the day. With continued Mg supplementation, the nighttime incidence gradually decreased and then stopped. I was having almost daily afib during that period about 10 years ago. Since then, with continued supplementation, I have had only a handful of afib attacks. Mostly those have been on vacations when I was not supplementing regularly. I do also supplement with potassium gluconate, and that is my go-to treatment when I have an afib attack. Taking a teaspoon of that usually stops it. If not, another 1/2 tsp an hour late. I suspect I could do without the supplements if I managed my diet more carefully. But I am a heavy exerciser in a hot climate and believe that the Mg and K supplements help keep my electrolytes in balance and thus prevent post-exercise afib (which used to be a problem). One more thing: I minimize sodium intake. My goal is to achieve a higher K/Na ratio, which is the "natural" ratio in the absence of processed foods.

If you are taking any kind of antacid you are immediately blocking the absorption of magnesium and much besides. This is likely to be the chief cause of deficiency due to the major uptake of these drugs such as Lansoprazole taken due to the avalanche of processed food, especially excessive amounts of sugar. Whether Mg is useful for Afib, it is still vital for many things in the body

I was hopsitalized with a major afib attack in 2016 and was on meds untill 2020. Even on meds I still had occasional attacks of Afib, palpations and missed beats. I can feel when my heart misses even a few. In reponse to another of your videos, all symptoms of afib, palp and missed beats stopped and month after I started Keto as did my diabetes. However when I go more than 20 hours of IF, they come back. I"m guessing it's because of my drop in electrolytes. I suppliment NA, CL, K, MG, CA, D and Li daily and feel great.
