I have had an elevated heart beat a few times during flush. For me, it usually happens right after I drink the oo and get in bed. The first couple of times, I thought it was nerves but it has happened just about every time now (8 or 9 flushes). Other than having a bit faster heartbeat that eventually settles down, I have seemed to be otherwise fine. As far as it being ok, I honestly can't say. But, I have survived and despite any discomfort during the flushing, I sure feel alot better after!!

Good luck!!!

Valerie, I too woke up in the middle of the night on my second cleanse with wierd heart feelings...not really scarey, but unsettling. The third flush I used half the amount of Epsom Salts , same amount of water, less salts, and I didn't have the problem. It didn't seem to interfere with the flush results either.
I do drink lots of apple juice and have no food the day of the flush, so I get pretty well cleaned out anyway.

It happens occasionally to up to 15% of people. Sometimes some people experience it only on their first 2 -3 flushes.

Nothingto worry about, just be aware that it might occure the next time you do the flush.

It is most likly related to the fact that liver is dumping large stones, altogether in conjuction with the fact that bowel is full of dissolved epsom salt.

hi. this rapid heartbeat, for me, is the ingestion of too much sodium for that day. my digestion begins around 3 or 4am, waking me up with rapid heartbeat, and feeling hot and dehydrated. i tried a few things, like eating some bread for blood sugar, drinking some water, taking aspirin, and am now taking atenolol. the only thing that really helps is watching my sodium intake closely. the atenolol (a beta blocker) just quiets my heart a bit (but the symptom is still happening). so my question is, is Epsom Salt actually sodium? if it is, and you ingest like say over 500mg sodium before you go to bed, then you will most likely wake up when your digestion kicks in. i would totally love it if someone could identify any cure for this sodium problem, cause this is what got me looking for alternative healing anyway on the net. (i started my first 'health kick' last week with renew life's cleanse smart). tigerfish
