What Causes Nausea And Stabbing Pain In The Abdomen?

Last night I woke up with extreme stabbing pain in my right abdomen. I couldn t walk and I was sweating and nauseous. (It felt different then diarrhea pain). I was able to fall asleep after an hour or so when the pain subsided. I still have pain in my abdomen but it is ore dull and comes and goes today. I am more gassy than usual as well. Do you think it is intestinal (bowels) or something more I need to be concerned about. I am a female, 35 years old. Not pregnant.
