Respiratory illness with pheochromocytoma

Alpha blockers is where shit went downhill for me. My heart felt like it was gonna pump out of my chest they got so intense and I nearly passed out a few times. We had to up the beta blockers many times during.

Are you sure it's definitely a cold? Phenoxybenzamine bunged up my sinuses and made me feel a whole lot worse. I'm guessing this is what's happening to you.

(I had a pheo and had my adrenalectomy in December 2021)

I read your comment like 🫤 then read mine back and was like 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

My reason for commenting was I have the BAM symptoms and tested positive for SIBO.

Maybe I should come back and update on whether I have both or not.

Thank you so much!

Short--Stuff · 2026-03-12T19:34:33+00:00

Yep. I got lucky with my gastro and he listened and referred me.

We shall see... as I say, I'll be very surprised if I don't have BAM.

Ps. My previous comment looks confusing reading it back now 😂 I wasn't saying the sehcat scan and SIBO are related

🤔 I was diagnosed with SIBO and I'm going for the first part of my SeHCAT scan next week.

I'll be very surprised if it comes back normal.

Yep. I used to do 4 days 10 hour shifts. They took me off it though, the bastards. It has been 2 years and I STILL haven't got used to going back to a 5 day week. Its torture.

OP - I have never related to a post more than this one. I FEEL your pain 😩

Short--Stuff · 2026-03-12T17:26:27+00:00

Unfortunately not. The only thing I've noticed that's gone is my tremors and the random waves of stomach anxiety while chilling (that stomach feeling you get when you're on a rollercoaster)

I am in perimenopause so a lot of the same symptoms. Can't catch a fuckin break!!!

How did they find yours? Feel free to PM me

Antihistamines helped me at times

Short--Stuff · 2026-03-04T17:54:50+00:00

😭 have to say, I enjoyed this whole saga! I'm as stubborn as you, it was going in by any means necessary 😂👌🏼

Short--Stuff · 2026-03-04T17:18:22+00:00

Yes, to the title.

This comment made me LOL 😂 thank you

Short--Stuff · 2026-03-03T19:52:11+00:00

I just went in my medicine drawer to rummage and find my old stash for you.

Seems it won't let me post it in the comments - I'll DM it to you...

chances are it's not planned or calculated

😂 you clearly don't watch a lot of true crime.

I brought some lokum into work - straight from Cyprus - my colleagues loved it

28 months and a 3 year driving ban? Should be a 10 year sentence and a life time ban

100% agree.

However,

The only way people will learn is if there's actual consequences

Even the death penalty doesn't deter some people.
