Reaction: This was likely a vagal reaction or a nervous system reaction to pain. This typically will cause you to feel sweaty weak and dizzy.This is not a serious disorder. If the pain in the abdomen recurs it should be evaluated by your family physicians.

I'd suggest u: Go to the er or urgent care for evaluation of heart and neurologic condition. I presume u may have already seen a dr for this. One likely possibility is vasovagal syncope/ drop in blood pressure from pressure on the vagus nerve during bm causing u to pass out.
