Hi,

Thanks for your question.

After going through your question, I can understand your concern.

There is adrenal tumor in your case.

Adrenal gland is a endocrine gland that produce different types of hormones.
1) Catecholamine like Adrenalin & Nor-adrenalin.
It has effect on heart, respiratory system, blood vessels, urinary and gastrointestinal system.
2) Corticosteroids like glucocorticoids and minerelocorticoids.

All these hormones affect blood pressure, heart rate, heart activity, body metabolism.

There may be hormone secreting tumor or non hormone secreting tumor.

Usual symptoms associated with hormone secreting tumor are related to type of hormone secreted.

As you have already consulted endocrinologist it is advisable to follow his advise.

Hope this helps you, if so do vote.
