Hashimotos TSH Normal Pheochromocytoma?

[my3reasons]

Thank you for your previous response.  You suggest that I have my doctor eliminate the possibility of pheochromocytoma (very rare).  I have been reading about this and understand that blood pressure is often elevated.  When I first started having my symptoms my bp ran 124/77 and have recently had readings of 136/92 and 150/80.  Changes often. This is the range even taking beta-blockers.  I didn't mention in previous post, but I did have a ct scan to see if maybe my stomach was causing my pain.  Was told test was normal.  This was done before realizing that my heart rate was so high during exercise up to 200bpm before the pain would develop.  Also had blood tests. I have all results ("normal").  Would there be anything on the blood test to indicate the possibility of pheochromocytoma?  Also, the ct states "small less than one cm low attenuation lesion noted within the inferior pole of the left kidney, too small for accurate characterization". Could this suggest pheochromocytoma or would the tumor only exist on the adrenal glands?  Not sure they would have even been looking for this.  Should I have this checked again? Or should have a 24hr urine test?  Thank you again.

Pheo is diagnosed with the 24h urine test first -- if that is positive then reconsider imaging repeat.

Not sure if important, but my symptoms started in Dec/Jan.  Saw dr. Jan.  Bp has has only been up and down the past 2 months and symptoms have progressed.  History of thyroid cysts, map dot fingerprint dystrophy (eyes), fibroids, severe food & durg allergies (carry epipen), tachycardia, and have had gestational diabetes and preg. induced asthma.  Thought I might need to mention these.  Thanks!
