Hi,

Ive been having some wierd stuff going on lately. basically the doctor thinks i have secondary hypertension and he suspects it is pheochromocytoma because i am only 18, in excellent shape, and have blood pressure of 170/110 with high levels of catecholamines found in my urine.

so that all seems straightforward enough, heres the wierd part, every time this doctor takes my blood pressure he says it is the same in both arms, and when i go to a store and take it at one of those machines it says similar readings to what he tells me.

however, at home with my manual sphygmomanometer, and at every other place ive gotten it checked, even with his own nurses they checked and it says it comes out with liek a 30 point difference.
170/110 in right, and 140/90 in left every time. i dont know who to belive. the doctor seems totally confident that my blood pressure is indeed identical in both arms, but i dont know, how could all the ohter readings be worng? i dont get it..
