You are very welcome, though the original posts on it came from Otis, who I

thank as well. I had a BAD attack yesterday morning, woke up in it, along with

the flu or a bad cold or something. My rate hadn't been that high in a long

time, so I took 400 mg. of mag. citrate and then another 400 mg. about an hour

later and it stopped within an hour and 15 minutes. The rate was all over

the place, very high to very low, and that really scares me as a high pulse

after a low one increases the risk of pushing a clot out, right? My attacks had

been lasting a minimun of 3 days ... and since I've started the magnesium I've

not had one last more than 5 hours ... usually converts within 2 hours of

taking magnesium. Am hoping it continues, and am delighted it worked for you!

Hey Stef, I hope it does cause a miracle. I'm not willing to call mine that

yet, but in light of not being able to take any meds, it seems like one to me.

I know it probably works differently in other people ... but a month? I

don't see how you stand it ... you have my caring and support.

I've been in afib for a month now, and started taking the magnesium citrate a

week ago (no luck yet)... I've just now taken 500 mg magnesium citrate on an

empty stomach... I'll report back if the miracle happens!

Went into a-f about 5 pm last night, doubled up on atenolol and cardizem (at

suggestion of my EP) to bring the rate down from 250 (!). Stayed in a-f all

night, waking every two or three hours. When I got up this morning, I tried 320

mg of magnesium citrate on an empty stomach, and converted within a half hour.

Coincidence ... who knows???

My thanks to Toni for her post awhile back on this topic. I'm going to start

with 160 mg a.m. and p.m. and see if this prevents my breakthroughs, now

I would have been electro converted this past week, except that I have been so

violently ill that my dr wouldn't touch me. Before that we were just waiting for

me to convert on my own, which up to now I have always done myself! I guess

the " progressing " part of this condition is progressing in me! bummer....

with the diltiazim 240 and the digoxin .25 my heart has actually been ok... I'm

still not back to the gym, which is bumming me out as we're going to the islands

next month, but I was actually thinking to myself last evening when it was

beating so slowly and ALMOST normally, that if they told me I had to live with

this forever, it might not be so tragic.... this morning is another matter, as

my heart is pounding and doing all kinds of wacky afib things!

I think this is still left overs from whatever bug I had/have.
