Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
Sudden pain in abdomen and feeling to go for passing stool followed by sweating and lightheadedness and vomiting indicate that there is an intestinal infection and most probably a gastroenteritis.
Feeling fine after 30 minutes indicate that the infection is low grade and body's defence mechanism might have helped you to recover but remember that this may repeat.
Hence I would advise you the following in such a situation.
Keep a close watch on further developments, if there is no recurrence of symptoms, this is a good sign.
If the problems recur, go to your Doctor or ER and get a clinical evaluation, examination and investigations of blood and stool to get an appropriate diagnosis.
Then get started with a proper antibiotic, metronidazole, probiotics and a PPI like Omeprazole with Domperidone.
This will help you to recover early and be cured too.
Get elctrolyte solution and plenty of oral fluids to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance.
I find this answer helpful
