Oh...and when they went to take my bp in the office, two nurses tried and couldn’t get it. The doctor tried and got 60/40! Way low!

So I get to stop another pill. They’re pretty sure it’s my double strength patch that’s doing the trick.

Scary low. You take care of yourself... hear?

Yowsers! Did they have the jumper cables ready? The condition the Doc thinks you have sounds serious, but it also sounds like something that could be fairly easy to remedy!

Will they do a flouroscopy to look for it? I see they mention laparoscopic surgery; that's not too invasive, and I hear it's a much easier recovery.

I'll put you on our Parish Prayer List this week for an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment for the problem

Gee whiz, 2J! Be careful!

Pheochromocytoma sounds kind of scary...but on the other hand, it does sound like it fits even symptoms you've had outside of high blood pressure. And it says that most folks go completely back to normal once treated - not a bad deal!

Will be praying for you, for sure!
