A member asked:
Had 24 hour urine for catecholamines and 5 hiaa. results were elevated epinephrine levels. what could that mean? my symptoms include episodes or rapid/forceful heartbeat, tingling in hands...

Further testing: The 24 hr urine is a screening test, and if abnormal, may require more detailed blood testing, or even referral to an endocrinologist. This raises the question of a possible adrenal gland abnormality, but epinephrine levels may be elevated just in response to stress.
