what is it exactly? my doctor did a 24 hour catch and some blood work
and she said that the numbers that came back made her hair on her arms
stand up..i still am not clear to what i have or dont have..all i know
is my blood pressure runs very low at times and then it runs
high,60/40 190/128,so she has taken me off of benicar hct and said my
body has to reprogram myself.she said that the andrrial glands are
stuck in high gear as if when you see a rattle snake and get shocked,
but mine react like that at all times..she is going to run more blood
work and another 24 hour urine test to see if there are any changes
and possibly do a work case study and send me to a mayo clinic. if you
could explain more or at least let me know if we are on the right
track and what is pseudopheochromocytoma. thank you i am so tired of
feeling bad and not knowing why.

Dear Vicky,

All your symptoms sound like manifestations of Phaechromocytoma which is a
tumour of your Adrenal Gland that controls the prooduction of the hormone
Adrenaline.Adrenaline is important in controlling your blood pressure.
If this is the case,you need to be under the care of an Endocrinologist(A
subspecialist of Internal Medicine) who will run relevant tests to confirm
Phaeo. and then refer you to the appropriate Surgeon to operate and remove the
diseased gland and hence cure you.

Good Luck

Dr Hamid
