I was sitting watching football when I got horrible cramps in my stomach (almost worse then what I get during my PMS, and I get really bad cramps then.) I stood up thinking maybe "it" had come early, but it hadn't. And I felt hot, my whole body was hot to the touch. I was sweating from everywhere. And I was very dizzy and lightheaded. I am still like that, and my cheeks are very flushed. I now have a headache on top of all that. Please, help me, I'm scared. What's going on?

The first thing is to chill out... the symptoms you describe can be anxiety amongst other things. If you can get an handle on yourself and settle - a few deep breaths - something relaxing - maybe a cup of tea or something - it might all settle down.
Other things that might be happening:
dehydration
hyperventilation (goes along with the anxiety)
viral illness
Is there any possibility that you could be pregnant?

It sounds like it could be ovulation pain, a rupturing cyst, mild food poisoning, or a medical emergency. Press on your stomach. If it hurts more when you let go than when you pressed get to the emergency room now. This is also true if you have breathing difficulty or blood pressure issues. If this is not the case...
If the pain is localized on one side more than the other, and is very sharp, it is most likely an ovarian cyst, and will pass. You may see some bood spotting as well. If it is on the right side and you continue to feel worse you need to see a doctor very soon to rule out early stage appendicitis. If it is food poisoning or a bug the pain will feel more like cramping, and you will feel air moving through your intestines. You will know in a few hours, unfortunately because you will also get very bad diarrhea and/or vomiting. At least when it's over you will feel better.

It could be anything! an allergic reaction is the most likely! What where you eating during football? I would go to the doctor to be sure your not having an allergic reaction to something you ate! I found out I was allergic to milk when I started having painful cramps like your having! turned out it was just a reaction! Hope that's all it is! take care and have a goodnight! FEEL BETTER SOON! ;-) â¥

Probably you are having intestinal cramps. Gas, or a stomach flu may be the problem. I have Crohns and it feels just like you described.

That sounds like it could be serious, or just food poisioning. I really don't think cancer comes on that quickly, but maybe you;re just getting sick, call your doctor anyway, even if it goes away because it might come back.

You've probably got a viral infection. Rest, drink lots of water, take some paracetamol (unless you're allergic to it). If you are still worried about it, go see a doctor.

it could be anxiety or stomach flu or indigestion. You should see a doctor if you are still having pains or are very concerned.

sounds like the flu. take some tylenol, have a cool shower, drink some orange juice and rest for the night.
