Hi,

Noted your history about episodes of severe irritability of abdomen, went down to bathroom, felt sick and dizzy, on the verge of passing out and profuse sweating.
All this indicates one of the following:
IBS that is irritable bowel syndrome.
Colitis with Vaso-vagal shock or syncope.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Consult your Doctor and get a referral for a Gastroenterologist for clinical evaluation, necessary investigations of stool and blood, colonoscopy, CT scan of body and so on.
All these will indicate the cause which will be treated specifically.
If all the investigations are normal then this is most probably IBS and control of stress and anxiety is the key to the treatment.
Also identify the foods and beverages that instigate or enhance the problems and stop these.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. T Chandrakant,
ENT & General Surgeon
