Does Magnesium Oxide On Long Term Has Any Benefits For The Atrial Flutter?

Thank you . I have a history of atrial flutter where I have needed electroversion 5x over about 6 or 7 yrs. My MD, a GP, has had me continuosly onmagnesium oxide ever since. Is this having any benefit as I m, a bit leery of taking anything for years although I take an aspirin every AM Im a 56 yr old guy. This stuff is toxic and when I looked it up it said it was primarily a laxative. Dose is 400mg thanx

Hi i read your query very carefully.

No Magnesium oxide hasn't a long term benefits in treating atrial flutter.

So i suggest to consult a cardiologist for further exams and a proper medication for atrial flutter.

Hope it answered to your query!
