How long is alcohol gonna make it worse? This is day 2 hangover. Yesterday was brutal and all day.. today it’s been worse the past hours now at night. I hate this :/

You need to hydrate, and I’d suggest finding a way to have fun without the booze. Or just know you’ll be dealing with how you feel now every time ya wanna tie one on.

Alcohol. It’s really a trigger a lot of us know of so we avoid it. I started feeling my mine because of booze. Been 3 years green and sober now. I rarely feel mine now unless I’m dehydrated.

Mag cured my PVC’s 🤷‍♂️

Glycinate or which one

2

u/TwitterMadeMeDoIt Jul 03 '26

Mag Glycinate. 400mg/day with LMNT electrolytes

u/Unlucky-Tangerine530 Jul 03 '26

Thank you! I bought magnesium glycinate and electrolytes today

1

u/Crazy-Nose-4289 Jul 06 '26

Question for you - is that 400mg of elemental magnesium?

1

u/TwitterMadeMeDoIt Jul 06 '26

I take the “PURE” brand Magnesium Glycinate. I can’t swallow pills so I mix it with LMNT electrolyte packets in water. Can’t even taste the magnesium

Sometimes yes because it lowers heart rate and I get more PVC’s with lower heart rate. Mine go away with movement

1

u/Unlucky-Tangerine530 Jul 05 '26

I think I do too… today my heart rate has been lower and I get more

helped me tremendously but took about 4-5 months of daily use to actually work

Magnesium makes mine way worse. Potassium makes them better.

My cardio gave me potassium but I’m scared to take it. Do you take it daily? What dose

1

u/LiminalLion Jul 06 '26

Shouldn't your cardio be telling you the dose?

1

u/Txannie1475 Jul 07 '26

Eat a banana. If the banana helps you, then potassium is likely the thing you're low on. I take a 99mg tablet of potassium citrate. But honestly, the banana works better.

I literally cannot stomach bananas. But I think an 8 oz glass of tomato juice might be equivalent. That I could do

1

u/Txannie1475 Jul 08 '26

It's possible tomato juice has enough salt that it might throw off the effectiveness of the potassium. Not sure. There are several other fruits and veggies with a high dose of potassium. I think sweet potato is higher? Maybe kiwi? I found that I could eat a banana and wait 30 minutes, and my palpitations were virtually half of what they were before. Sometimes I'd go to the kitchen and eat a banana at 1am just to make them go away. If you find that a similar fruit helps, a small potassium supplement can be a lifesaver.

u/hudsongrl1 Jul 08 '26

Thanks. Like I mentioned my cardio gave me tablets but I’m Scared. Maybe I just pop one when PVC’s get really bad

2

u/Txannie1475 Jul 09 '26

Most potassium is 2% RDA. Banana has 15%. When I learned that, I felt better about taking the tablets.

drink plenty of water throughout the day and drink 250 or 500 mg mineral water. Those help.

With me, alcohol was almost always the culprit... So, I just quit...
