Celiac related??

I do have Celiac..When I was first triggered with the disease I woke up with Nausea and dry heaving, Due to the dry heaving I started To pass out, My Blood Pressure Dropped and about 30 minutes i felt better, The paramedic said it was from compression on the Vagle nerve.So this past week , I was working out, Stressing my body with Push ups, and all of a sudden my Arms were cramping and the pain was unbearable, all of a sudden I started feeling light headed things were going dim, and I was passing out, So I was rushed to the instacare I had blood pressure of 90 over 40 which is low but my pulse was good,I was out of it, not passed out but weak pain in the arms were i hurt them working out, they tried to give IV and couldn’t get a vein for a bit, by the time the IV bag was empty the cramping was gone and I had felt better,and went on with my day feeling normal within 2 hours of the episode.
The Doctor who I know said that he thinks My calorie intake is low, I was dehydrated and that I had my Neurogenic nerve was triggered.WHAT IS GOING ON, This scares the HECK out of me??? It’s the second time it happened, the first when I was DRY HEAVING HARD WITH PAIN TO THE GUT, and the SECOND TIME was after Arm Wrestling Pushups, weight lifting and pulling my muscles and having a great deal of pain.. What could cause this what should I do, Is it SYNCOPE, HYPOTENSION, DEHYDRATION,,CALORIE INTAKE< NEUROGENIC VAGLE Celiac Related, I just dont know????? Any suggestions
