kitshalleen Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 hey everyone,I was wondering what kind of doctor tests for adrenaline/epinephrine issues or abnormalities. does anyone know? i also made an appointment with an endocrinologist because i've never seen one. the problem is that they all specialize in specific endocrine issues. i didn't know which one to pick. i know that my thyroid is fine. i just randomly picked adrenal gland issues, because i've never been tested for that. i wish that they had just a general endocrinologist. oh well.hope everyone is doing okay.take care,kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broken_Shell Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi!I am wondering the same thing. I have seen numerous endocrinologists and non of them really addressed this beyond checking cortisol levels. I see my endocrine doctor next week, and I think I'll bring it up as it relates to my symptoms. If anyone else knows the answer to this question, please reply. Thank you!~ Broken_Shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernie Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi,You need a supine and standing catecholamine test. Mine was ordered by an endocrinologist or internal doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tearose Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Mayo Clinic's ANS neurologist ordered mine.It has to be done in a certain way and sent to a lab that will know what to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
