Hello,
It looks that your pain abdomen is due to gastritis only,as your stomach inflammation would be still persisting.
Severe pain in abdomen can cause cold sweats and there is nothing abnormal in it.
Forget thinking on lines of cancer or heart attack.
Along with regular medications for your gastritis,make sure that you take care in what you eat.Avoid alcohol,smoking,spicy and greasy foods for atleast 6 weeks.
You shall be all right soon.
Failure in resolution of your symptoms would require a consultation with gastroenterologist and a possible gastroscopy with biopsy for H.Pylori.
Thanks
