Dr. Lynne Weixel answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Diagnosed?: If a doctor has found this or is testing for it - discuss it w/ them. Otherwise, read this info and then consider seeing your GP for an eval. Don't get too far ahead of them in Dx work. If you have Health Anxiety - seek a good therapist w/ that expertise. http://www.endocrineweb.com/conditions/pheochromocytoma/pheochromocytoma-tumor-central-adrenal
