I get a tingly feeling in my stomach or double vision. But, this may be one of those things that family and fiends can help you with. My "stomach aches" were only identified as a kid because I told my mom my stomach was feeling funny and then I would blackout. If you can't remember what happened before, ask the people around you. Did you tell them your head hurt? Did they notice your finger was twitching? Etc.
