- Suspicion of a tumor like a pheochromocytoma, causing episodic sweating, headaches, and palpitations.
How to prepare
- Detailed consultation to discuss medical history, symptoms, and medications.
- Discontinuation of certain medications (e.g., steroids, diuretics) as advised by the endocrinologist, often for a specific period before testing.
- Fasting or specific dietary instructions (like a high-salt diet) for certain blood and urine tests.
- Collection of 24-hour urine samples as per precise instructions.
- Scheduling of necessary imaging scans (CT/MRI) and any associated pre-scan preparations.
Risks & possible complications
- Risks are primarily related to diagnostic procedures (like contrast allergy from imaging) or potential treatments.
- Medication side effects, such as gastrointestinal issues, mood changes, or bone density loss with long-term steroid use.
- Hormonal imbalances during treatment adjustment, leading to temporary symptom flare-ups.
- If surgery is recommended, associated risks include infection, bleeding, or anesthesia complications.
- Rare complications from untreated disorders, including adrenal crisis (a life-threatening drop in cortisol).
Recovery & hospital stay
- Recovery is primarily medical management, not surgical. Patients follow a tailored medication regimen.
- Regular follow-up appointments to monitor hormone levels and adjust treatment.
- Lifestyle adjustments, including stress management, balanced diet, and adequate hydration.

Vihaan Reddy, a 42-year-old software engineer...
Vihaan Reddy, a 42-year-old software engineer and father of two, had always been the calm, steady presence in his family. Over the past year, he began experiencing debilitating episodes of severe headaches, heart palpitations, and sudden, intense anxiety that felt like panic attacks. He was constantly exhausted yet couldn't sleep, and had unexplained weight loss. His primary care doctor, after noting his consistently high blood pressure, referred him to an endocrinologist. The endocrinologist, suspecting a pheochromocytoma, a rare adrenal tumor that secretes excess adrenaline, ordered specific blood and urine tests and a CT scan, which confirmed a small tumor on his right adrenal gland. The doctor recommended a laparoscopic adrenalectomy to remove the tumor. Vihaan was terrified; the idea of surgery and the 'time bomb' feeling of the unpredictable adrenaline surges filled him with dread. The minimally invasive surgery went smoothly. In recovery, the intense anxiety and palpitations were gone almost immediately. His blood pressure normalized without medication within weeks. Emotionally, Vihaan transitioned from feeling like a prisoner in his own malfunctioning body to profound relief and gratitude. He regained his energy and his role as a present, patient father, with a renewed appreciation for his health.
