Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Severe lower abdominal pain can not be due to acidity; it causes upper abdominal pain.
Secondly, your pain is severe and not associated with the menstrual cycle.
The most probable causes of a severe pain in lower abdomen which takes breath away can be due to:
Twisting of the ovarian cyst.
Lower Ureteric stone.
Volvulus , meaning twisting of the intestine along its own axis.

I would advise you the following in such conditions.
First of all get a X-ray of the Abdomen in the standing position. This is the simplest form investigations giving the maximum information particularly when you are in a pain.
Ultrasonography, blood and urine test will help for further diagnosis.

The treatment will depend necessarily upon the diagnosis one gets.
I find this answer helpful
