Ten days doesn't seem excessive to me, however, and I would think your symptoms may not be related to the fast.

PS: I'd probably ignore his advice myself, mostly because I don't know any physicians who believe in fasting. I'm thinking about doing a long fast -- my longest has been 40 hours. I actually really like them now.
