What Are The Side Effects Of Water Fasting?

I spontaneously decided to do a water fast about 40 hours ago. My reasons are mixed between physical and spiritual cleansing. I am currently feeling like I could vomit at any moment. I feel that sort of fever cold sweat I usually get before being sick. Is this normal? If I do vomit what will I be vomiting?

Hello

Thank You for 60% of body contains water. water is quite beneficial for body. Dehydration (water loss) causes severe problems including Acute Tubular Necrosis(sudden kidney shutdown resulting in death). If you vomit then it will contain gastric secretions which include stomach acid & mucus.
I would suggest you to drink 1.5 ltr water early in the morning which keeps body clean and removes body waste.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing you good health.
