Weight Loss
Pheochromocytoma can trigger the body to produce an excessive amount of catecholamine. In the long run, this would result in a hypermetabolic and proinflammatory stage. This means the basal metabolism can be affected. Thus, people with this condition might notice unexpected weight loss in spite of normal food intake in the diet. This symptom can also be an effect of other signs caused by pheochromocytoma, especially gastrointestinal problems like nausea, vomiting, and constipation as mentioned above. If left untreated, it would cause malnutrition and slow down your recovery. Therefore, make sure to consult your doctor and find a good way to improve your diet intake and ensure sufficient absorption of essential nutrients.[10]
