Synacthen Test

I'm having this test on Tues. I have a reaction to adrenaline

in dental anesthetics. Could this be a problem?

It would be best to call your doctor and ask.

Hi I have a reaction to adrenaline at the dentist but had no reaction when I had the Synacthen test done in June for a mass in my adrenal gland. The Dr now think it could be a Pheochromocytoma. But best to ask your Dr/ dentist to make sure.

Thanks for your response ginger,I will tell them at the hospital

on Tues. when I get there.

Thanks Merryl, it's quite reassuring to know that you had no

problems with the test, but I will check it out with the hospital.

Cloch I had problems with the freezing at the dentist as well. The dentist should know this. There is an alternative freezing for patients with thyroid and adrenal gland problems.

Sorry hanny, I probably wasn't clear enough. I do have the

alternative injection at the dentist, I'm just very nervous

where injections are involved in case adrenaline is

involved so I always check first. I just wondered if anyone

could give me a heads up on this test. Thanks.

Hi Henny, Merril and Ginger. Had the test this morning with

no problems. Thanks again for your input.

That's good, at least you know now.

Glad to hear that.
