Cause Of Hot Flashes, Abdominal Pain, Nausea, Shaking?
Hello,
For about 6 hours now I have been getting hot flashes, and then 2 hours ago I began getting severe pain in my abdomen, no specific place, just all over. Thought it may have been food poisoning from the night before but after passing a bowel movement the pain only got worse. Then the shaking started in. Standing for more than a minute at a time brings on nausea. The only thing that seems to dull the pain is lying still for an extended period of time. Any sudden movements and the pain starts again. Not sure what this could be.

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
It can be food poisoning or any other enterocolitis. But also it can be more serious gastrointestinal condition such inflammtory bowel disease or carcinoid tumor so you need more detailed gastroenterolgosit work up to rule out these disorders.
Wish you good health. Regards
