Thyroid or benign tumors?

Hey everyone! Well I had the usual tests done and all that stuff is normal, however we are continuing to dig deeper into this to figure out what wrong, I have to do a 24 hr. urine collection and get a heart echocardiogram, my doc says that there are a couple of weird things that could be causing this stuff, so we are going to rule that stuff out, which it will make me happy to know for sure, but I am also really scared he said that there is this 1 thing that cause benign tumors to secrete hormones or something and Im so scared what if I had that?? I mean he said that it is treatable but its just finding it, does anyone have sweaty hands all the time??? and do you know the name of what he is talking about with the tumors????

good luck

Hi angela,

I looked up the sweaty hands thing on WebMD, and I found something about "hyperhidrosis.

The antiperspirant thing sounds like a nice cheap idea to me, I never would have known that you can use that on hands, feet, etc.... As for the tumor thing, I agree with handsopen that he should not have mentioned that until he has done some testing first... especially to someone with anxiety!!!!! Besides, it probably isn't that at all! When I first got my vertigo the first thing they did was MRI and EEG looking for brain tumor.. which of course it WAS NOT, but I worried like mad until the tests came back. I know it's hard not to worry, but try not to... remember, doctors sometimes are not so sensitive, and speak without thinking, not realizing what it is doing to the patient! ((((Big Hugs)))) and let us know how you are doing,

Bear

Hi there I agree your doc alarmed you with that quick DX and not even knowing for sure w/o tests
I think maybe Bear is on to something here
You be well and try to relax it will be okay
Thanks Bear
