does anyone else worry about cncer of the adrenal glands?
i stupidly read something about it on a medical website and the symptoms of that and panic disorder sounded similar (although theyre probably not) so now i have a niggling worry about how doctors tell the difference.

Hi there,

I never worried about this until my doctor decided to test me for it last year, the test was negative thankfully, but I was worried while waiting for the test results.

It's easy to read medical things and scare ourselves, I've done it enough times too!

If you have seen a doctor regularly for anxiety I'm sure they would have considered it if necessary and remember that adrenal tumours are VERY rare. My doctor said she probably won't even see one patient with one in her whole career. Anxiety however is very common.
