Have it treated: Are you having the pheochromocytoma treated with surgical excision? Your doctors should have you on a specific course of pre-operative medical therapy. Avoid some cold medications that would raise your blood pressure & follow your doctor's detailed instructions.

Several too many: It is a catacalamine producing tumor, so any drug that stimulates it, has to be avoided likedopamine receptor antgonists , veralipride, metodoprimide , all beta blockers, epedrine , monoamine oxidase inhibitors and many other drugs to be avoided to prevent a catastrophic event.

No stimulants: Actually any medication that increases your blood pressure or any activity that it increases your blood pressure should be avoided in this disease and you should be sure that you have a absolute correct diagnosis as it could be potentially life-threatening however under the treatment of people with experience it should not be a big deal.
