A quick comment about the pheochromocytoma testing... you are correct... high levels ofcatecholamines, and their breakdown products can cause glucose intolerance, and look like diabetes. If your doctor did the 24hour urine test, and it was negative, i would trust him or her... there are other things he could be thinking about that can cause your feelings... if you get the "panic" feeling again, and you are somewhere you can test your sugars... do so.. also, and maybe more importantly...if youcan test your blood pressure, do so... this will be valuable info for your doctor. If your doc is still worried about the pheochromocytoma, the next step is a CT scan of the belly.
Have you had a lot of new stresses in your life recently?
