Good fer you. I’m sorry you’re having to go through all of this, but keep pushing until they get this figured out.
He’s liable to tell me to get lost. And if he does, I already know what I’m going to do. I’m heading to the employee health office where I work. When I went in to ask if I could go back to work, they were very sympathetic. My BP at that time was 194/114 according to their machine. The doctor that assessed me said “It sounds like pheochromocytoma.” which is what I’ve thought all along and what Dr. B thought too.
Some of the symptoms include:
*Headaches
*Nausea
Vomiting
Weight loss or gain
*Hypertension
Hyperglycemia
Diabetes
Diabetes-like symptoms
*Palpitations
Angina Chest Pain
Clammy skin
*Cold skin
Anxiety
^Nervousness (I guess...I’ve kinda always been this way!)
Panic
*Feeling of impending doom
*Rapid pulse
Rapid breathing
*Breathing difficulty
*Vision disturbance
*Impaired vision
Orthostatic hypotension
Fainting
*Sweating
*Flushing
Abdominal pain
*Flank pain
*Constipation
*Paresthesia (tingling, prickling, numbness or burning sensations)
I have the symptoms with the stars.
Anyway, I’ll get the doc at my employee health department to help me get a new doctor.
