Please help! I don't know what's wrong with me.

Hi all. Today something strange and also scary happened to me and I googled my symptoms but I can't seem to find anything about it. I was putting on my makeup when I suddenly had a pain in my left side and a feeling of needing to eliminate. I tried to ignore it but it kept growing until I couldn't ignore it and ran to the toilet. When I sat down everything started. I had a bout of diarrhoea, but I wouldn't say it was very bad. The pain in my abdomen was now extremely painful, I had to bend over. I broke out in cold sweat, so much that it started to drip down my face. I was so weak. My hands became really numb, and my fingers froze in a twisted position and I couldn't feel my hands anymore. It was really scary. I couldn't move them. Then the numbness started in my legs and turned to intense tingling, like water was being pumped into my foot/someone was giving me a foot massage. My toes curled and froze that way. Finally my diarrhoea and pain subsided and I regained feeling in my limbs. This was after about 15-20 minutes. I looked in the mirror and I was as white as a sheet. I was very weak after that for a few hours. I don't know what's wrong with me, does anyone have any ideas? It was really scary, the closest I've been to passing out :(

Hi,

These symptoms of finger twisting and toe curling with many sorts of abnormal sensations and diarrhea associated with fear of death are suggestive of an anxiety disorder. You may also see these symptoms in some drug withdrawal.
Have you been under any stressful situation?
Anyway, for this diagnosis you may first have to be extensive evaluated for organic causes if the symptoms recur.
