Hello doctor,
I tested positive for COVID-19. For the past few months, I have been taking Magnesium to aid with heart palpitations. Now I am also taking Tylenol and Mucinex (Guaifenesin). I have not taken any Magnesium tablets in two days, and my palpitations have reappeared. I would like to know if it is safe to continue taking Magnesium Glycinate?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Yes, using Magnesium Glycinate tablets regularly is safe. It will not cause any side effects in COVID-19, so continue taking it as usual. Kindly notify me about your COVID-19 symptoms.
Do you have any fever or cough?
Please let me know so that I can prescribe you the proper medication.

Patient's Query
Thank you doctor for the reply,
I have had a fever for the past two days. The temperature is around 100 degrees Fahrenheit to 102 degrees Fahrenheit. Now I have a persistent cough with a lot of mucous and a sore throat. I have been taking Tylenol for the past two days. And Mucinex since this morning to assist with the cough and mucus. I was afraid the pills might interact with my Magnesium Glycinate, so I decided not to take them, and now I have slight heart palpitations.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
No, it does not interfere with these medications. Therefore, you can take them without any fear. And for your symptoms, I would suggest adding,
Take all these medicines for five days, then continue with Tylenol and Magnesium as needed. COVID-19 causes dehydration and palpitations, so eat well and drink enough fluids.
