1. Finally got in with a cardiologist. Stress test was fine, had to wear the holter yesterday and should get the results back Friday I guess and have a echocardiogram in a week. I'm very anxious about this whole thing. confused

2. I have three different kinds of magnesium. No clue which is for what or the difference nett them and can't find anything online. I have magnesium, magnesium citrate and magnesium glycate. Some have helped me on a previous post but I'm still confused.

3. My panic attacks usually happen when I'm driving, or at least that's what I think they are. I get a rush over me like I'm going to pass out but never do. I probably should t be driving but I have no way to get to the barrage of appointments that I have.


Any input would greatly appreciated.

I have been dx with lymes and babesia and have had roaming symptoms (1st joint pain...then brain fog and fatigue....then finally lots of cardiac symptoms) cardia workup (echo stress test monitor 30 days showed A Fib) cardiologist suggested blood thinner and pacemaker. I am sure it's the underlying Lymes Babesia infections even after both antibiotics and an herbal protocol.
I am a nurse and did exhaustive research re: irregular heart beats, too fast, Atrial Fib etc) added Magnesium (tried lots of different kinds and brands including epson salt baths, mag oil on my body, oral mag etc. A pinch of epson salts in water seems to do the trick (little soft loose stools). Now on Buhner protocol and working with it....symptoms better but with this full moon....I'm a Fibbing last few days. This forum helpful as well s so much out there now. Got this 4 yrs ago and seemed no body knew much about any of this. At least there's a lot more to learn and more support these days. Good luck Breath deep. Hand to heart

Womanway - thanks for your response. If it's not one thing it's another with this disease. Did you do the blood thinner and pacemaker? Where did the a fib show on which test?

Welcome womanway. I neglected to welcome you yesterday, sorry.

Any way for the both of you regarding magnesium - Traveler put this link in another thread and I thought I would share it here.

Oh and my chiropractor that gets me my magnesium says only take the kind that ends in ATE. He says "ate" means you can eat it. LOL

He gives me magnesium citrate. I have no idea about the others....

Always read the the back label to see what kind of magnesium it is. If it just says magnesium, dont bother, since obviously the makers dont want to tell you.

As previously mentioned, the types that end in "ate" are the best.

Remembered from a magnesium "study" page (that I've since lost): Mag glycinate and mag malate are perceived to have the highest absorb-ability followed by mag citrate, and Mag oratate.

Mag Oxide mostly just offers a laxative effect, and is unfortunately what most cheaper mags consist of - total rip off since they don't absorb regardless of their claims (lies).
