Have you mentioned your problem to your doctor? Absent physical exertion, an adult human being should be able to go without food and water for the duration of the YK fast with nothing more than hunger pangs and, perhaps, a headache. Your symptoms suggest that there may be an underlying medical problem. Before you approach your Moreh d’Asrah for a heter, consult your physician.
