Groin pain

1. The first time was while I was walking around my apartment listening to music. I stopped and tried to twist my torso to the right, and suddenly I felt this... sensation. Not sure how to describe it. Like a vein just snapped tight. I didn't think much of it at the time and headed for the armchair. As I leaned back into the cushion to relax and watch TV, the pain hit. It was right in that area where the left leg meets the groin... you know, that junction. I went to bed and stretched out. The pain lasted a few seconds, then vanished once I stood up.
2. The second time, I got home from college and started stretching out when it hit again. This one lasted longer. If I’m sitting, it’s fine. But if I lie down and stretch my legs out, I feel it all through that half of my body—from the left side where the leg meets the torso, up to just below the stomach, right at that crease. Even walking upright triggers it. I actually remembered my gym coach telling me once that if you get hit in the groin, doing a few squats helps. That’s basically what I did here. Thankfully, it's gone now. When I was hunched over or sitting, there was no pain, but stretching out or walking caused that pulling sensation, like a tightened tendon... Oh, and one more thing. My anatomy sort of retracted during the episode. I don't know if it was the pain or just pure panic, because I'm a total hypochondriac when it comes to my health, and this really rattled me.
Any idea what this could be? Just a heads up, there were ten days between the two episodes. And that night after the first one, I had some drinks and spent the whole week doing crunches.
Could it be from sitting in those cramped lecture hall seats at the university? They're tiny, and since I'm tall, I have to spread my legs out just to fit, so maybe I'm too constricted.
Could it be the alcohol? I've been out to about ten parties this month, though I wasn't going overboard.
Or the ab workouts? I've been doing a massive amount of crunches—around 800—maybe it's some kind of inflammation.
I know this is a bit of a mess, but I'm still a little shaken up since the second bout happened just an hour or two ago...
Thanks for any input.
Hey! I had the exact same thing happen yesterday. Did you see a doctor? What did they say? Thanks.
