In a patient with pheochromocytoma, all of the following are seen except?
Due to increased sympathomimetic stimulation, Pheochromocytoma has a weight loss. Phaeochromocytoma produces norepinephrine (80% cases) leading to hypeension but since the catecholamines act for sho duration and are released in bursts abnormally, the BP increases for some hours a day, which is referred to as Episodic hypeension. This catecholamine excess in future will lead to a persistent vasoconstriction, referred to as volume contracted state. This explains the Postural Hypotension/Ohostatic Hypotension Pheochromocytoma is a nasty tumor that can produce V.I.P and leads to Secretory diarrhea.
