I found this caution on the Mayo Clinic site -

Heart disease—Magnesium supplements may make this condition worse.

Kidney problems—Magnesium supplements may increase the risk of hypermagnesemia (too much magnesium in the blood), which could cause serious side effects; your health care professional may need to change your dose.
