Should I ask for a 24hr urine test?
Hi:D
Recently I've been suffering from Vertigo and nausea. I was perscribed Serc and Stemetil by a doctor at my local hospital. After reading the leaflet I got with them it said not to take of you have 'Phaeochromocytoma'.
I had no idea what it was so I googled. As far as I can gather it's a tumour on your adrenal gland that causes anxiety, palps, sweating and so on. I'm a bit scared to take the tablets now as I'm thinking that me having this is a possibility.
I've had blood tests done but it said it can only be diagnosed with a 24hour urine test. Should I ask for one from my GP before I take the tablets or am I being too cautious?

if your doc thought there was any chance thats what you had then he wouldnt have prescribed so yes your HA is getting the better of you there...
