What Do You Mean By Orthosympathetic Phenochromocytoma?
I have orthosympathetic phenochromocytoma. I understand the disease more or less, but what does orthosympathetic mean? Also, I don't want to lose the drive and ability to deal in stressful situations quickly and efficiently, so I won't be undergoing surgery. Does the body adapt to a lifetime of increased norepinephrine/blood pressure? I'm very athletic and I assume used to it. What are the health risks for me of refusal to remove the tumor?
