I Have Been Having Adrenaline Surges For Over A Year
I have been having adrenaline surges for over a year now. The first one June of 2014 led to a heart attack (my heart is fine now). I had several more surges and my blood pressure skyrocketed and then August I had several surges in a row and went into a comatose state for 12 hours. During the 3 hospital stays they just gave me a diagnosis of panic attacks. Though a few doctors said I should be tested for pheochromocytoma. Things eased up for several months and then suddenly again I started having the adrenaline surges again. I did go to a doctor to be tested for pheo but the two tests showed nothing abnormal. Then I was led to a neurologist. After 2 EEGs and having a seizure in the doctor's office, I was told it was not epileptic and that it was anxiety. I can tell you I am not anxious or panicking. The doctor wants to put me on a new hypertension med to control my high blood pressure (which happens when I seize), but it will not have any affect on the adrenaline surges or seizures. I don't know where to turn at this point. There has to be something that will stop the adrenaline surges which will then stop the seizures. Do you have any ideas for me? Thanks so much.
