Low heart rate and loud palpitations 50hrs in

Hello, I am currently 50 hours in in my dry fast and my fit bit is recoding a low heart beat of 42bpm. Sialkot it’s low around 52 but I was wondering if this was normal ?

I am laying in bed right now and whenever I am still I really feel my heart palpitations, like if my heart wanted to leave my chest. They are slow though . I also started my period which I don’t know how if it affects it.

Should I break my dry fast ? Or continue till o reach my 72 hrs ? Thank you!

I had the same thing happen to me.. But not the heart part. When my period came it was already at the end of my dry fast… but after my period did not return until almost two months. I don’t know if it was the rapid weight loss or rapid weight gain at the end of the fast that caused me to lose it which is most likely since I lost 10lbs in 5 days and regained them in the same time period. For you, everyone is different so you may not lose your period. But if your heart is getting too stressed out then I think you should know when to stop.
