Hi I am ending day 5 of a 7 day water only fast and everything seems to be going well and normal as in increasing weakness random aches and pains in ribs and neck and a pretty constant desire to crack my left wrist. The question I have is I've been getting cramping in my calf and thigh muscles just an achy cramp like on the verge of a Charlie horse. I had this happen ALOT while pregnant, I recently had a blood test in the last few weeks actually last week of April and though it showed my potassium in range it was only two off from being the very lowest. My question is how stable is potassium during a fast? I know it can be life threatening if you are way low. Thank you in advance and happy fasting!!

If potassium deficiencies occur at all on a water fast, where this is also quite rare, they usually occur on or around day 20 or so.
On a 7 day fast your concerns are unfounded.
A pre-fast diet is important in the prevention of any deficiencies, so what were you eating leading up to the fast?

Mostly vegetarian some fish and lean meats like turkey and chicken and a good multivitamin most days. One more thing this is about BP I've always been very low my whole life I'm usually around 100/60 sometimes 92/58 even pregnant I was like max 115/70 how much lower does it go on a fast in general I get very dizzy faint (I just bend over it goes away) my last dr instructed me to eat more salt lol because I black out and get dizzy even on a normal basis in the mornings when I wake up. I will say I was on a 9 day fast a cpl years ago and was on this sight and did ok I did have the same dizzy spells and seems my body got highly acidic or was releasing acids. Thanks for your time

This is a reply to # 2,067,367Let me clarify I don't black out as in pass out I just go temporarily blind I'm so used to it I still walk around even blind (only lasts abt 5 seconds)- Re: Day 5 of 7 question about potass... burge

This is a reply to # 2,067,368I did that blackout without passing out on Day 12. I was on a warm crowded train. I got off, the cool air revived me. But, yeah, I was worried. And like you, potassium was my main concern.
I realize the people here are mostly hard core, but if you feel you have to juice some spinach, kale, carrot, tomato or even a banana. Being strict on the Water Fast is not worth teh risk of your life. Your BP and heart rate/beat can be affected.

Low BP can be normal for many, but the thing to be careful of on a fast is any SUDDEN large change, as this represents a need for breaking the fast on safety grounds.
Dizziness or what is termed medically as "Orthostatic Hypotension" usually occurs for most because of a drop in BP to the head, and occurs when standing up too quickly; this can be dangerous because of the possibility of blackouts and injury because of this.
Always stand from a sitting or lying down position very slowly on a fast, and this should not occur.
It is advised to rest as much as possible on a fast as well to avoid this and to conserve/recuperate energy.

This is a reply to # 2,067,524Water needs vary on a fast vary from person to person, but a generally accurate guide by many is to drink according to thirst, and thirst only. Excess water only serves to overload the kidneys and inhibits if not prevents detox altogether. Quite a bit of our water needs on a fast are met by the breakdown of adipose tissue, where much water is stored. Any excess though is seen as harmful, whether this be food (obesity) or air (hyperventilation) or whatever.
Well done on your fast, and I hope you feel all the better for it.
