Adrenal fatigue?

[BobbyCollins]

Hi everyoneAs posted here many times I have high BP and trouble with medications. Currently on Losartan 50mg from originally 12.5 mg but now having considerable surges in BP and insomnia worse than ever. GP has just tested for catechcholins

and I wondered if anyone else has had experience of this please? I know high levels cause high BP.

Bobby, I can find nothing on the specialist website Blood Pressure Uk about catechcholins, nor can Mr Google.

Perhaps if you personally read this charity’s website you’ll find something that resonates with you,

Catecholamines. Part of neurotransmitters network affecting various functions.

Thanks madlegs. I can't for the life of me keep that name in my head! Very worrying! X

Hello Bobby, I see your GP is suspecting you might have a pheochromocytoma on your adrenals. I was also tested for this via a 24 hour urine test after massive surges in BP. Do you think you are having insomnia due to the worry? Have a read about Conns disease, this was my diagnosis after a long and complex journey involving many specialists , this also causes bp surges plus many other weird symptoms such as excessive thirst,muscle cramps and aches and digestive problems.

Hope you get some answers.
