A member asked:
How long can you have a pheochromocytoma before it causes serious problems?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends : Really depends on how much adrenaline it is producing and how effectively ur body is able to cope with or without meds. The trouble is that even with meds, under serious stress, the release of adrenaline can be unpredictable and dangerous. If u have documented pheo and able to have surgery, get it out. U need to b on Alpha blockers for 2 wks before surgery.
