Everything I've seen saying calcium is dangerous is only if you're not taking vitamin D. Need to see the article though.

Do you take thyroid medication? If your TSH is low, taking too much thyroid hormone, you can get heart palpitations. Another option, are you on blood pressure medication? When my blood pressure got too low from blood pressure medication, it also made my heart rate too low causing me feel palpitations. My heart was actually beating slowly but very hard.
Foot cramps can be from lack of calcium, magnesium, potassium or vitamin B1. You might want to get some labs done.
