I had a scan (mri) of the abdomen back on 4/26, and I have to have another one of the pelvis, which takes 30 minutes. Since I didn’t hear anything as far as findings are concerned with regard to the first scan, I have to presume that this tumor is not on either of my adrenals, or anywhere else in my abdomen, or that, possibly , the gadolinium contrast just failed to demonstrate, and that would mean I might have to have a more sensitive test, like an MIBG scan. My BP is great, but these “Pheo” spells occur randomly, and they cause these “feelings of doom”, where I can wake up suddenly and experience a sense of doom. These bother me worse than the BP issues, so I have to get to the bottom of this, because it is seriously affecting my quality of life. Thank you for reaching out to me, I appreciate it.

I had a CT scan with contrast last week and I’m still waiting for results.
I know I have an adenoma on my left adrenal from a scan that was done nine years ago. All the doctors I spoke with said it was nothing to worry about. Even though, I was having adrenaline rush often.
They convinced me it was just my anxious personality. Funny I haven’t always had an anxious personality.....
Anxiety seems to be the “go to” diagnosis for many things.

I also feel I have to finally get to the bottom of this, but it has been very difficult.
Please let me know what happens with you, and I will let you know what I learn too.
Good luck to both of us!
