If so you really don't need so much oral. Most people do well one just 2 of the SlowMag (generic) daily not, 4.
When your blood pressure goes down, typically there can be a compensatory increase in heart rate. 80 is not so high... it is in the upper range of normal for many people.

I don't use the lotion, it made my skin and legs really tight and numb. 80 isn't high but for me is very uncomfortable. its is beating fast but not pumping much blood. Anytime I have any gluten or sugar it goes hay wire as well. I decreased my magnesium to 2 a day and have been keeping more normal.

Do you exercise? Your b/p is what most healthy people strive for. The normal rate use to be 120/80 ( that is still good) now doctors are shooting for 110/70.
Also, if it was to low for you it would have the opposite effect. It would make you feel sleepy.
How many skipped beats are you experiencing. You said your heart skips a beat.
Hopeful

My resting heart rate is 55 bpm. it has always been really low I was told becuase I am a runner and tall. Anything above 70 bpm and I start getting uncomfortable. My blood pressure also gets low after I eat, 90/54 bpm 50. my regular BP is about 105/65. I am not dizzy at the time but do feel very tired after I eat. Possibly related to my stomach artey issues. My heart skips 1 or 2 beats a day. I get one at 11:00 am sometimes and almost every single day at 4:00 pm. It is so regular I can almost predict it. I start feeling a little different and then 30 seconds later it skips and then I am fine. I saw a cardiologist and he said it was normal, I am anything but normal.
