It happened out of the blue, I was feeling pretty good. Then my stomach started getting achy..then real achy almost like I had been punched in the stomach. I began to feel nauseous, like I may be sick to my stomach. This was followed by a wave of heat, then almost cold sweats, lightheadedness. I laid down for a few minutes (after taking a probiotic and some stomach enzymes), the intense pain passed and turned into gurgling intestines and a cold chill. It all took place within 5-10 minutes. Now I feel pretty much ok other than some residual anxiety over this event.
I had an EDG back in the middle of summer and all was ok then. This is just so strange. I still have regular cycles and I am almost mid cycle right now. Is this a hot flash? I've never had anything like this. I've been getting the occassional warm flush, but nothing like this.

I've had something similar to this happen to me a few times. Whenever I'm in a lot of pain such as a very bad headache, or even something like stubbing my toe and feeling that "rush" of PAIN come over me, it will "trigger" a bad hot flash. Could the bad stomach pains have triggered one for you? Something to think about....

Dear 'Ms.Anxiety'
What you describe is exactly what happens to me when I have a major anxiety attack.When it is that bad I will take a low dose of Xanax and that generally helps.
I do not have hot flushes so cannot say if they are related as am on HRT.
Try to avoid caffeine,sugary products and alcohol as these can add to the jitters and irritate sensitive stomachs especially at a time when Hormones are fluctuating.
Hoping all will be well soon!

I have also had the same thing. the quick pain in the stomach, weird feeling in head, then heat, then cool. It can make me very anxious as well. A low dose of xanax can def. help, but sometimes just knowing what that it's hormonal can make me feel ok too knowing it will pass. good luck, these moments are very difficult.
