I saw a alternative medicine consultant. I informed her that when under great stress my blood pressure rises sometimes to the point of svere hypertension. However, when I use the conventional medicines it comes back to normal but if I continue on them I go to low.

She recommended and I bought Peter Gillham Natural Vitality Natural Calm (Magnesium 615 mg {elemental from magnesium citrate} ) . . . I have taken 1 teaspoon so far.

Now on reading some of the post of this thread I realize that "citrate" is a laxative.

Please tell me if I have made a bad choice as just last week my general doctor told me I have to start practising kegel exercises to strengthen my muscles.

Should I discontinue this Natural Calm. If so what is the right type of magnesium I should use?
