Episodic events: The adrenal gland produces specific hormones. Abnormal tissue occurs as pheochromocytoma. Bursts of hormone levels can then occur with episodic symptoms. High blood pressure, anxiety symptoms, palpatations, flushing, even stroke like symptoms may occur. Hormone levels during these episodes can be very high. Removal of the tumor will cure the disorder.
