Are those heart palpitations normal for you around that time of the month or common for you around day 6? If it's because of day 6, I'd say make sure you are getting PLENTY of water! My heart will race too if i'm dehydrated. The tea and SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) can dehydrate you. I feel especially dehydrated after the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) and usually need to down about as much, if not more, clean water as I did the salt water. Also make sure you're using enough maple syrup because that is our supply of minerals during this fast. I know the feeling that you're going to die if you don't eat because your heart is fluttering. What your body really needs is vitamins, minerals and water. Lots of water! I bet that if you drank twice as much water this time you'd get past day 6 no problem. And don't forget that syrup! But, I'm not a doctor and if this is common, please see one--it may not be the fast causing this.

Do a pre-cleanse diet for at least two weeks prior to your next go. It gets the body cleansing in a gentle fashion and should help you work out some issues in advance.

Best,
