Overview

Symptoms of pheochromocytoma include episodes of tachycardia, sweating and headaches.[1] Most patients don't have all symptoms.Less common symptoms include cardiomyopathy and episodic hypotension.[2]Patients may have Obtaining history f recurrent attacks of palpitation or family history of pheochromocytoma. Patients may show symptoms of other multiple endocrine neoplasia associated diseases such as medullary thyroid, hyperparathyroidism.

History and Symptoms

History

Obtaining history of pheochromocytoma patients may show past history of recurrent attacks of palpitation or panic attacks.Family history of pheochromocytoma increase chances of MEN2 in patients.

Common Symptoms

The hallmark symptoms of a pheochromocytoma are those of sympathetic nervous system hyperactivity, symptoms usually subside in less than one hour and they may include:

Please note that not all patients with pheochromocytoma experience all classical symptoms.[4]

Less Common Symptoms

Less common symptoms include:

Associated diseases

Pheochromocytoma patients may show symptoms of other diseases in MEN2 syndromes such as: hyperparathyroidism, marfanoid features or medullary thyoid disease. Patient may show symptmos associated with von Hippel-Lindau (VHL).
