My stomach aches and I feel cold all over, what's going on?

Abdominal pain and chills may be caused by a gastrointestinal cold or intestinal spasm, which may also include acute appendicitis. The nature of the pain needs to be determined in time and you need to go to the hospital for examination.

1. Gastrointestinal cold: There are many reasons for stomach pain, and gastrointestinal cold is a relatively common one. It is usually a gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by a virus. Patients will have symptoms of decreased appetite and diarrhea. When the diarrhea is severe, it will be accompanied by abdominal pain and fever. At the same time, there may be chills while having a fever. This is mainly because the central nervous system that regulates body temperature is stimulated.

2. Intestinal spasm: Patients with intestinal spasm experience obvious pain, usually due to paroxysmal and strong contractions of the intestinal smooth muscles, which causes particularly obvious abdominal pain. When the pain is more severe, it may be accompanied by chills or cold sweats, as well as pale complexion. It is necessary to take antispasmodics in time, such as atropine or belladonna tablets.

3. Acute appendicitis: Patients with acute appendicitis will have symptoms of obstruction of the appendix lumen, including bacterial infection. The appendix tissue will have inflammatory changes, and usually symptoms of pain in the lower right abdomen will appear. During acute attacks, the pain may worsen. Generally, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time to remove the two tissues, otherwise the pain will worsen and move to the upper abdomen.
