Pcp says a 1.0 cm adrenal nodule wont grow from nov. 3rd to now but wont order a hormone blood test to see whats going on cause the blood work done at the er was good even though it wasnt hormone related. opinions, advice, and clarity?

Endocrinologist: Most clinicians advise checking further into adrenal nodules found incidentally. Checking hormone levels for the presence of a pheochromocytoma is one example. I believe that you should consult an endocrinologist for the best advice.

Worrying about heart all the time. Two EKGS, blood work and urine all normal this year. PCP & ER docs think anxiety. Can you have sensations without being anxious? Can electrolytes be off even if test say within range? I feel like something is off.
