Hi welcome to healthcareMagic Forum

It is good that pheochromacytoma is negative...
since the cause is unknown nothing to worry... continue to take the prescribed anti hypertensive... salt intake is restricted, good sleep is necessary.. routinely get your eye check up done to avoid any retinal damage by hypertension...
