Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Could Be The Reason For Sudden Stomach Pain And Cramp With Felling Of Tightness And Hot Flashes?
I had a sudden pain in my stomach as if I may need to have a BM but nothing happened when I tried and instead, after sitting on a toilet, the cramping got so bad that I was unable to stand up straight. I began to sweat a lot and felt really hot. The hot flash was back and forth for about an hour and has since stopped. for the first couple hours, I also felt like I might throw up but I never did. That also happened during the sweat part of the hot flashes. It has been 6-7 hours since that sudden pain started. The only symptoms that I still have are stomach cramps that make it almost impossible to stand up straight. I have to be slightly bent over to walk but there is still a cramp/tightness. It feels very tight and hard. I should be starting my period in about 5 days (My cycle is pretty regular with the schedule). It seems too soon for all of this to be period cramps but I do have a history of having the worst menstrual symptoms right before and during the first couple days so I will not rule it out. My period symptoms have also been getting worse overall each month for the last year to the point that I have needed to make a DR appt about the issue. I am also burping a lot but not passing gas, nor do I feel like I need to do that. BMs and urination is normal other than the cramping but that might be because of the position I am in while sitting on a toilet. The only position that huts the least is lay on my stomach but also in the fetal position. Thank you for any help!

Hi, Thanks for writing to HCM. You need to get a ultrasound of your abdomen to rule out any renal or ureteric stones. Also it will tell your uterus and ovaries status. If no stones are there, then you need to see a gynecologist for your severe menstural pain. Till then take some analgesic and start on a ppi for your stomach gas. Dr. Ashish Verma
