What if you have already been tested for pheochromocytoma, mastocytosis and carcinoid syndrome and the test results were fine everytime?? Symptoms for last year or so include red hot ears, face, arms, elevated BP and pulse when it occurs, nausea, sometimes headache, and very fatigued after a big episode of it. The symptoms come on any time of the day but usually later in the day. Have had the "million dollar workup" with no conclusions of what is wrong with me. Any suggestions would be appreciated!!
Have blood labs to rule out pheochromocytoma (plasma free metanephrines), mastocytosis (total serum tryptase), and carcinoid syndrome (chromogranin A). (I also replied to "Code Red" above.)
chris you seem to have more of the same systoms as I have. red hot ears, sometimes face, palms of the hands and sometimes through out my upper body. I also find i have and evevated BP when this occurs. These systoms do seem to occur more so at night but have had them all day before. I'm also making the round with Doctors to find out what is causing this. Have had a Brain scan with which show everything fine and am waiting on results from other tests. Please list any results you get and I'll do the same.
