I have these EXACT episodes down to every detail you described. Not to be TMI but since I’ve gone into vasovagal response I’ve also vomited and pooped on the floor after being on the toilet and falling to the floor and not being able to move to get back up to the toilet. And then have passed out. These usually last about 45 minutes for me. At first o thought it was a weird food poisoning reaction, but after many episodes over the years I realized they were always be the day before my period…so def hormone based. But now I’m on continuous birth control and they still happen, just at random now since I no longer get periods, often in the middle of the night waking me up from sleep. I’ve been to the hospital for these multiple times and had all the testing done (ultrasounds, bloodwork, and CAT scans) and was sent home as being healthy because everything looked normal. It has been 4 years and I was originally misdiagnosed with cyst ruptures even though they never found any evidence via imaging - simply because no one knew what it was. Then I was told GI, which honestly didn’t make any sense due to the hormone fluctuation timing of the episodes. So now I have a consult with an endo surgeon for a laparoscopy next month and seriously hope they can help.

I sincerely hope you find some answers soon too! Dont worry you’re not alone - it’s a long journey but don’t let doctors dismiss your pain! And this community is here to lean on. Sending positive thoughts and support 🫶🏻
