sometimes severe attacks/pain can cause someone's temperature to drop, and they can get very cold and shaky. Blood pressure can drop with severe attacks, too.
Even after the pain subsides you can still feel very cold, lethargic, and exhausted to the point that you just have to go to sleep.
It's all connected.

So...would someone's BP rise due to an attack? To the point where they are sweaty and flushed and hot?
I've never felt my BP drop in conjunction with an attack (and I have had a severe drop in BP so I know what it feels like; it was unrelated to IBS). I have felt hot, sweaty, nauseous, dizzy, and had bad gut cramps with major D when I've had attacks. I do feel exhausted after, though, and have often slept 10-12 hours after a serious attack, although I've just attributed this to being a side-effect of the meds I will take to stop a serious attack.
