What Causes Sudden Abdominal Pain At Night?
Hi. Last night I woke up in the night with abdominal pain...I got up to use the bathroom. When I sat on the toilet my heart started pounding really hard and I felt like my head was going to explode, my face felt hot and I had a painful fiery-burning sensation in the palms of my hands. My lips felt thick and numb. This lasted about a minute or two. Then I had more intestinal pain and passed a small amount of diarrhea. Then my heart slowly stopped pounding and the pain and numbness subsided. What would cause this? The same thing happened to me once, about 6 years ago. Very scary.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
* As per my clinical experience, the abdominal colic may be related to various issues as intestine infection or else. Associated systemic features of tremors and heart beats are secondary to anxiety manifestations via catecholamines release in the blood.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
