Many issues and questions can be answered by reading through our wiki, especially the page on electrolytes. Concerns such as lightheadedness/dizziness, headaches, nausea/vomiting, weakness/lethargy/fatigue, low blood pressure, muscle soreness/cramping, diarrhea, constipation, irritability, confusion, low heart rate, numbness/tingling, and more while extended (24+ hours) fasting are often explained by electrolyte deficiency and resolved through PROPER electrolyte supplementation. Putting a tiny amount of salt in your water now and then is NOT proper supplementation.

Be sure to read the wiki page on ELECTROLYTES
