question: I woke up in the middle of the night this past weekend with stomach pains which led me to the bathroom.  The stomach pain began to get worse even with diarrhea relief.  Then i began to sweat profusely and was extremely light headed and was close to passing out.  My wife had to put wet towels on my back and head to cool me down.  The pain eventually eased, but it was probably worst feeling i have ever experienced in my life.  A few other websites showed similar symptoms from people who passed out and went to the hospital, but no one has offered a diagnosis.  This has happened to me about 4-5x in my life overall.
