What Causes Flushing And Burning Sensation In Ears And Cheek?

pheochromocytoma is unlikely
Detailed Answer:
No sir, in medicine we think of common things first and uncommon stuff later.
And most importantly all your other tests are normal so don't be anxious about it thinking all day.
The rare possibilities in your case can be many like pheochromocytoma, carcinoid tumor and even tumor in thyroid gland.
But all these diseases have many other symptoms like diarrhea, palpitations and weight loss along with total anorexia or hyperphagia (disturbed food habits). So in my opinion rather than these uncommon problems specially when all your tests are normal you should take the medicine as told and see for response.
Also drink a lot of water daily and keep hood diet.
Apply some good sunscreen so that there is no photosensitivity.
All the best.


yes stress can cause these symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Yes dear, definitely stress and anxiety can cause these symptoms but as you have a short history and already taking antidepressants the chances are less.
But in case there has been some problem lately which you feel has given you lot of stress then you can revisit your psychiatrist and get yourself evaluated.
All the best.


CT Scan in case not relieved
Detailed Answer:
In my opinion you need not yo think so negative and get anxious about the symptoms.
Try cetrizine for a while and in case still have symptoms then can get a CT scan which will evaluate your problem in a meticulous way.
All the best


very unlikely
Detailed Answer:
Pheochromocytoma as I told you is a very violent tumor and usually causes this flushing and redness of face along with severe diarrhea, abdominal bloating and increased appetite and loss of weight but as you have neither of these symptoms and chromogranin test is also within normal limits, it is extremely unlikely.
So better not get tensed thinking of that..
