I have started sweating after eating. Anyone else?

Hello @krk and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect.
I am sorry to hear of your unique symptoms without a diagnosis yet. That is frustrating as well as worrisome, isn't it? While Connect is made up of patients like yourself (therefore we cannot make diagnoses), I can say, however, as someone who has had carcinoid tumors, there are aspects of your symptoms that do resemble carcinoid syndrome. Did any of your blood tests check your serotonin levels? Elevated serotonin levels can be checked through the 24-hour urine test and also by a blood test.
Have you had any diarrhea or other digestive pain and/or problems?
If you would like more information on carcinoid tumors we have a discussion group here on Connect. Here is the link, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/neuroendocrine-tumors-nets/.
When will you know if you will be able to have the nuclear tests?

The urine test came back inconclusive.
I basically have had mild, by my standards, abdominal pain for months w the throat constriction and sweating.
I have damaged spine due to accident so pain is subjective to me, been living w that for decades. I have had polythycemia since I was 35 (now 70) but complicating this latest issue is two years ago I flipped to anemia which has puzzled the hematologist. One other symptom is since this started is fluctuating blood pressure. Prior to this I had mild elevated BP treated w small amount of drug but since this I was taken off due to sharp decrease in BP shortly after eating.
Anyway this is obviously mysterious and complicated. Would like a diagnosis merely to attack the issue. Interesting note is endocrinology department at Mayo declined the referral but upon re submission it appears internal medicine department is reviewing the info again. At this point it is what it is.....
