A possible brain stem tumor huh, I'll have that looked into. Any chance

it could be something simpler such a thyroid problem?

Whoops!, should have done a little more research, I saw the word
"medulla" and jumped to a conclusion. I see now it's located in/on
the kidneys.
Another problem I've been having is tinnitus, which some say is related
to the kidneys.

What I don't have in relation to the symptoms of pheochromocytoma
are; No severe headaches, no excess sweating (my hot flashes only cause
a thin layer perspiration briefly).
I have had that anxiety (feelings of impending death) at times. However
yesterday all day while my heart was doing anywhere from 110 to 120, I
felt quite composed. I was feeling cautious about over exerting myself,
but other than that I felt pretty normal going about my daily business.
No nervous shaking (tremors), I'm steady as a rock.
No pain in the lower chest or upper abdomen, except that I've been a
bit gassy. Any chest or abdominal discomfort has been quickly relieved
by a belch or breaking wind. No nausea. And definitely no weight loss
what so ever. I'm 6 feet tall and weigh about 240, which
unfortunately has been the norm for many long years.
Racing heart (tachycardia and palpitations) and hot flashes or heat
intolerance with mild anxiety at best are the only symptoms which seem
to apply to my current situation. Also, I should mention that I've
sensed a very slight tingling in both hands along the sides of the
hands extending into my pinkies. This sensation is equal in both hands.

Thank you again,
Brian
