HI. Such pains come when there is food poisoning or intestinal infection as the body wants to expel something which it feels is dangerous to it.
Weakness and tiredness is due to loss of potassium and other electrolytes into the intestines. You may need an antibiotic and supportive medicines as per further progress, you should visit ER to avoid further complications and to take proper treatment
