A member asked:
Can a full stomach affect a pheochromocytoma (cause a surge by pushing on it)? is the stomach anywhere near the adrenals?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The stomach is very close to the left adrenal gland. Hard to know for sure how hard it will push on the gland and cause a surge of hormones. If you do have a pheochromocytoma, it should generally be surgically removed by an experienced laparoscopic surgeon and anesthesia team. Hope this helps!
