Anxiety adrenaline waves every AM waking me from sleep.

Posted by esikora @esikora, Nov 13, 2021

Hello,
As stated above,every AM at around 5, I start having uncomfortable adrenaline-like waves throughout my body. If I try to sleep, the waves cause weird dreams and then I wake up. This has been going on for about eight months. There has been considerable stress in my life during this time, but now things are improving, but the waves are just as bad.
Has anyone ever experienced this?
Thanks.

I do in fact have a dx of a pheochromocytoma, and I will be getting a scan next week to pinpoint it’s location, because they can be in the adrenal medulla on either kidney or somewhere else in the abdomen or pelvis. A contrast will be injected after the first set of pictures. That way the reading radiologist will compare the images without and then with contrast. If I hadn’t ended up in the hospital 2 and 1/2 years ago with very high BP after eating Kimchi, which is fermented cabbage I probably wouldn’t be getting all this attention now. Because Kimchi is a fermented product, and I wasn’t aware that people with these particular tumors must never eat fermented foods, because they have a lot of tyramine in them, and that’s why my BP went so high. There are all sorts of foods that I cannot eat, it’s quite a list.

Thank goodness it was discovered. It seems these type things only get discovered accidentally.
Good luck to you. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks, I will let you know how things turn out; my cardiologist said I’m healthy enough for surgery, I was glad to hear that.
