Lower Abdominal Pain and Sweating

My older brother who is 37 and visiting me experienced something quite strange last night.

He slept at 11:30 pm woke up at 3 am due to discomfort in the stomach/lower abdomen and felt that it was hurting. After some pain he had bowel movement and passed stool. As he was going through that, he almost went into the unconscious mode, head spinning and had considerable amount of sweating. By 3:30 he felt better and went back to sleep. Feels normal in the morning.

Anyone experienced anything similar. What could it be and what type of Doctor should we consult.

hi. hard stools could cause a vasovagal attack. sounds something similar if he was constipated in the first place. yes a gastro opinion would be good. more  
I experienced exactly same problem 7 years back. We were travelling to Haldwani, I had bread omelet in some restaurant on my way in the evening. Then next day early morning around 5am at our relatives place, I had stomach pain, Then after passing stool, I just came out from Toilet and could not walk, I fell down, went into unconscious mode, I was having sever sweating. I was on the floor for 5 minutes, then after sweating. I felt better and went to sleep and I felt normal in the morning. It was just stomach upset, thats all. That time I was 30. Usually people who don't eat outside food frequently, they experience this problem. more  
Thanks a lot Dr. Chandra. Any recommendation for a good Gastro. more  
Consult a gastroenterologist first. An ECG also should be done. more
