My 3-year-old is being tested for pheochromocytoma. Everything else is negative (thyroid, BMP, EKG is "pretty normal," autoimmune, etc.), Boy, though, she has some of the symptoms of pheo. She has had some high blood pressures at rest. She has really diaphoretic episodes every week or so with pallor and just feeling like crud where she just is lethargic and quiet that last maybe 10 minutes. We have a blood sugar stress reaction (what the pediatrician called a stress reaction) during one of these episodes that went from 126 to 177 in 5 minutes' time. Then she just gets over it like nothing happened. It's just not normal.
Anyone have any other thoughts on what this sounds like? Pheo is so rare that it seems unlikely and maybe it sounds like something else to someone. Thanks for reading.
