Endocrinologist: I would start with an endocrinologist to make sure there is no thyroid dysfunction or hypercortisolemia. I would also see a pulmonologist in light of your shortness of breath.

Good start: Seeing an experienced endocrinologist would be a good start. Then, when the extent of disease has been defined, you should be advised whether you need any further consultations such as an oncologic surgeon, a neuroendocrine specialist or some other physician.
