It's possible you could have a Pheochromocytoma tumor. I would ask for a 24 hour urine catecho amines test to be performed. I am diagnosed with a extra adrenal Pheochromocytoma or Paraganglioma Cancer and the catechoamines test was how City of Hope nailed down the problem.

Sorry, I misspelled something. It's 24 hour urine catecholamines. They can also do plasma catecholamines which can be useful as well. Another test I do is 24 hour urine metanephrine.
