By day 2, I start throwing up. I am taking electrolytes. I started to see double and I couldn’t get off the floor.
Can someone tell me what this could be? I’m not fasting for weight loss, I’m fasting for spiritual reasons. I was praying and crying because I honestly felt like I was going to die on the floor…thankfully my family member came home from work and found me.
This is the second time this happened, the last time I thought it was because I was dehydrated, but this time I was prepared. Could this be an underlying health condition?
I have a heart murmur due to blood pressure issues that make it unwise to fast more than 36 hours at a time. Low blood volume and poor iron cause my blood sugars to drop and I get light headed, dizzy and will faint, the same will happen if my blood sugars spike (pre-fasting days).
You should see a doctor for a diagnosis and fast within safe parameters. My doctor approved my fasting times for weight loss and I stick to that.
