Pheochromocytoma
Just recieved this diagnosis formally. Not sure how I feel about this. Sorting through results. Does anyone have a homeopathic suggestion.

Hello @lisanewell68 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I found some information on this disorder from the Mayo Clinic's website. Here is a link to some information on the treatment:

It appears that this is caused by a tumor on the adrenal gland. Has your medical team found a tumor like this on your adrenal gland?

@lisanewell68, Lisa, are you a candidate for surgery? Usually, the procedure for pheochromocytoma (an adrenal tumor) is performed using minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic surgery).
