Hi All I often have achy legs, cramping in my left foot at times, and a neck ache. As far as the achy legs, I had an ultrasound for Peripheral artery disease, which came up negative. My doctor says this in not from Afib and seemed not concerned. I actually had to ask for the test. There are times that the achiness drains me. Compression socks do help quite a bit though. Does anyone have any clue of these symptoms of mine? It has been going on for months. I too was dealing with on going low blood pressure. It is not so often now as it was, thank goodness. Thank you!! :) https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,187850,187850#msg-187850 Thu, 25 Jun 2026 07:10:15 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,187850,187877#msg-187877 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?10,187850,187877#msg-187877 Epsom Salts baths are definitely relaxing and also help with the aching muscles
as is topical magnesium in the 'gel' form... although it's sticky feeling can be limiting.
In the archived posts, there are many suggestions on forms and dosing ranges.

Also important is to have the intracellular testing (ExaTest), at least initially, to
identify where the patient is at the starting point.

Typically, optimizing intracellular magnesium helps relax muscles. ... note the emphasize on intracellular, because the magnesium has to be absorbed into cells .. including muscle cells to have the relaxing effect and it's a well-known recommendation for Afibbers to supplement with magnesium. We can elaborate more and direct you to many previous posts on the actions/benefits of optimal intracellular magnesium.

Additionally, are you diabetic? If so, is neuropathy present? That can affect circulation and comfort in feet and legs. There is an abundance of info that can be referenced for you to read...just provide a bit more background info about your "arrhythmia story" and your general health history.

Best to you,
