Unsure on getting enough electrolites during water fasting

Hi, I've done 2 ten days waterfasting before and now I'm beginning another one. Sometimes I feel light headed and dizzy, hence I think I'm not getting enough minerals.
I drink good quality bottled water as my body requests it (1-2 liters a day) and a liter of Powerade ION 4 everyday. Plus I lick some salt (because it sucks in water) and dissolve 2.5g baking soda in the water.
Seems this does not suffice ? I'd like to fix the dizzines as is my only noticeable concern... thanks !
Ah I'm 175 lbs and 5'7h :). Fasting in a warm place with plenty of rest
