The last time I had an Exatest a year or so ago, it showed very high IC Calcium as in 7.0 as against a range of (if I recall correctly) 3.5 to 5.0. As such, and given I take an albeit lowish dose of daily flecainide (75mg BID - I am a 6'4" 220lb male) I'm wondering if SR diliazem would, being a Ca channel blocker, actually help to prevent the inflow of Ca into cells thus facilitating the possible inflow of more MG into cells?? (I have just commenced a new course of weekly IM Mg injections with my GP.) So, in a nutshell, will taking a Ca blocker assist me in my quest to lower my IC Ca?? (My IC Mg was only 31 at my last abovementioned Exatest.) As ever, any and all input would be greatly appreciated. https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,132889,132889#msg-132889 Thu, 17 Sep 2026 12:02:57 +0000 Phorum 5.2.23 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,132889,133101#msg-133101 https://www.afibbers.org/forum/read.php?9,132889,133101#msg-133101
And the IV mag is a wonderful natural calcium channel blocker as well, as is taking .. and absorbing ... enough oral or topical Magnesium.

Please see my last post to the next door thread of mine regarding PVCs and PACs as to doc having to stop my MG injections.....
Also here in the UK my doc can't do phlebotomies unless my ferritin is over 1000..... mine's usually 250-450.
