Continuing with שער הכעס
SM: Continuing in the Sha'ar HaKa'as, I found the next few lines are a continuation of the quote in Talmud Nedarim that you already dealt with, i.e. abdominal troubles. We continue with a quote from side B of that daf, so I am linking to an English translation here.
Continuing with our text:
ועוד אמרו רבותינו (נדרים כב ב): כל הכועס - אפילו שכינה אינה חשובה כנגדו, שנאמר (תהלים י ד): "רשע כגבה אפו בל ידרש אין אלהים כל מזמותיו". ואף משכח תלמודו ומוסיף טפשות, שנאמר (קהלת ז ט): "כי כעס בחיק כסילים ינוח", וכתיב (משלי יג טז): "וכסיל יפרוש אולת". ובידוע שעוונותיו מרובים מזכיותיו, שנאמר (משלי כט כב): "ובעל חמה רב פשע". וענשו גדול מאד, שנאמר (משלי יט יט): "גדל חמה נושא עונש":
And furthermore our Rabbanim said [in Nedarim 22b], "He who loses his temper, even the Divine Presence is unimportant in his eyes, as it is written [in Tehillim 10.4], 'The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek God' ".
[The Sha'ar then continues from the quote in the Talmud from R' Yirmiyah of Difti: ] He forgets his learning and waxes ever more stupid, as it is written [in Kohelet 7.9], "For anger resteth in the bosom of fools"; and it is written [in Mishlei 13:16, "But the fool layeth open his folly."
[The Sha'ar quotes R' Nahman b' Yitsak, who said:] "It is certain that his sins out number his merits, as it is written [in Mishlei 19.19], 'And a furious man aboundeth in transgressions' ".
This was pretty straightforward, so it could be good to summarise what we have read so far. What are the consequences of anger?
This is a gamut of bad effects; we should never know from them.

This was pretty straightforward, so it could be good to summarise what we have read so far. What are the consequences of anger?
- "All types of Gihenom rule over him", which we could say is a spiritual punishment, but is also "evil in your flesh"
- Abdominal troubles, leading to "a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind"
- Pride that leads to a neglecting of seeking HaShem's Presence
- Forgetting one's learning and becoming stupid
- Transgressions add up and outnumber one's merits
This is a gamut of bad effects; we should never know from them.
