Good morning, Tom
My personal opinion is the sentence just plain looks weird with “and then” preceded by a dash and followed by a comma. I think that punctuation would be more irritating than useful to a reader.

Good morning, Amy.
Thanks a lot.
How would you write this sentence?

Hi Tom,
As the lady said:
He felt excruciating pain and then he felt nothing.
You could beef it up a bit like this:
He felt excruciating pain. Then he felt nothing.
or
He felt excruciating pain, then nothing
