Hi thanks for your question.
Most probably you are suffering from APD that is acid peptic disease.APD is due to increased acid output in the stomach due to variety of causes. Common being ,cigarette smoking ,alcohol, spicy foods and infection of stomach by a bacteria called as H Pylori.APD causes severe gastritis, that is inflammation of stomach, which give rise to burning pain abdomen, nausea and vomiting .The sweating after vomiting followed by cold and shivering is due to vagus stimulation, which occur due to vomiting and is normal physiological process. Stop any of above mentioned acid stimulant if you are using. You can take antacids, Proton pump, inhibitors like pantoprazole.Consultation with a physician is advisable who may be able to perform an upper G I endoscopy on you to determine cause of you symptoms and may prescribe you appropriate treatment. You may also need ultrasound abdomen to determine cause of your symptoms
Hope this answers your question

Hi ! The kind of pain you have described could be due to a stone in the gall bladder or in the biliary tract. In case you consume alcohol, pancreatic disease have also to be excluded. In the pains of simple hyperacidity and gastritis, you will not pass out with the attacks. I would suggest you to consult your family physician/surgeon who may advise you a proton pump inhibitor, an anti spasmodic to start with , along with some routine investigations according to the findings in the ultrasound abdomen. Wishing you an early recovery.
