A member asked:
Can a pheochromocytoma be discarded if i have all the symptoms but no high blood pressure or if this is only paroxystic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
What symptoms: Blood and urine testing for hormone levels is needed. Symptoms are suggestive but unreliable and not very specific. Further testing may be required if hormone levels are abnormal. Normal blood pressure does not exclude the possibility of the disease.
