A member asked:

I have headaches, high blood pressure, recently had supraventricular tachycardia, lost 4,7kg in one month. could this be pheochromocytoma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pheo: An overactive thyroid is a more common cause and a pheochromocytoma is a quite uncommon cause. However your physician or cardiologist can arrange for testing for both glandular abnormalities.
