Re: I can't figure out why my heart rate is still high

High Cortisol. As you bring the levels down to a more physiological

level 30-35mg it shoudl decrease your heart rate as well. It may also be

lowering potassium as high cortils DOES cause potassium wasting.

Regarding your magnesium question: I've read that low magnesium can contribute

to high heart rate.

There are two different blood tests for magnesium, Serum and RBC, I do not know

which is more useful, Val might know this.

I could never take magnesium supplements, they gave me digestive problems, until

I switched to a slow-release form, which worked great. There are probably

several slow-release magnesiums available, the one I use is the " Jigsaw " brand.

Do both serum and RBC Magnesium! RBC magnesium is the TISSUE level though - And is the best test! It shows the Magnesium you REALLY have in your tissue.Subject: Re: I can't figure out why my heart rate is still highTo: RT3_T3 Date: Wednesday, March 3, 2010, 3:07 PM

Thanks

I hope you are right, because I really want to lower the HC.

I will check potassium levels.

I actually tried a large dose of magnesium before bed last night and my heart

rate was a little lower this morning, but I still think something else is

keeping it up.

I am retaining tons of water today, though, and I wonder if the magnesium is

why?

Did it cause edema with you?

Magnesium did not make me retain water. Have you had your potassium tested? I

get puffy if my potassium is low. In her reply to you, Val mentioned potassium

wasting.

I just got it tested and I am waiting for results. I am wondering if that is a

problem for me.

Thanks
