Anyone test for pheochromocytoma?

My doctor is testing me for this because of my symptoms. I was wondering if anyone else has gone through something similar? I am a year and a half off experiencing labile hypertension, sweating, severe anxiety, and adrenaline rushes. Thx

Ive done about 3 different tests for it. They all came back clean. I'm still mildly afraid of it though.

What bp's do you get and is it after any foods?

My bps are all over the place. Can be as low as 90/55 when laying and relaxed or as high as 170/120 during one of these episodes. I am also on a blood pressure med .

I am similar. Its the one symptom that terrifies me. As said Ive had an mri on my adrenals, my heart. 2 lab tests. All normal. But half the time I still question it. Do u react to bananas or avacados or peanut butter, or cheese?

 

And do u shake when this happens?

Yes I shake, get sweaty, anxious, adjetation, feels like I will seize, sweaty, can't think, just really bad. Can last all day or just an hour. I have a sugar sensitivity

Add migraine to that list too

If that bp med is a beta blocker and you have a pheo you're playing with fire. But if you can eat a lot of bananas and cheese then you prolly don't have it cuz they can trigger it. Also if u can exercise you're prolly good. But most likely you do not have it. My cousin had it and had those high bps all day everyday. I try hard to believe I dont have it and theres no way I should, but boy do I jump to conclusions during an episode. Its an ungodly amount of adrenaline I know

Do they happen randomly for you or after food/sugar/excitement etc?

Randomly I haven't found a trigger.. Is labetalol a beta blocker?

Do you think Benzo wd is likely the cause? Also been tested for hyperthyroid.

I have to assume it's the cause, IF your tests come back normal. As I said I was sure I had it but I've had every test and mri's and nothings there. I understand the worry though. I imagine panic attacks could also be the cause. It seems the more fear/panic attacks i get the worse each one is. But the best thing you can do is cool out until your results.
