Yes, mine was inherited. Genetic testing ordered by the endocrinologist showed a mutation in sdha 91 ct. Considering your symptoms, I would think your tumor is a functioning one, meaning it’s secreting hormones that are messing with your cardiovascular system. You should request testing be done to measure catecholomines, either plasma or 24 hour urine. Also metanephrine test can be helpful. It’s possible you will need pre-op alpha/beta blocker medication to control your blood pressure as well as heart rate.
