What Causes Tumor In Adrenal Gland Which Produces Adrenaline?
Question: Hi there, recently I have been overweight for a while weighting in at 83kgs and at 173cm in height. My blood pressure was at 167/99 with a heart rate of 130 doing nothing. I decided to go to the Gym and start doing extreme exercise. after 3 weeks of intense exercise I started feeling light headed everyday, with tiredness and weak calf muscles I started to feel dizzy and could not walk properly walking very slowly. I thought i was suffering a stroke and ended up in Emergency and the ECG and blood tests and xrays showed nothing. I have a tumor in both Adrenal gland which produces allot of adrenaline and a hormone which makes my bone brittle. My calf has some bruising from 1 week ago after i had massaged it with my knuckle. still today i tried to go to the gym and feeling the same after 2 1/2 weeks. I dont know what is going on
