Take Control of Your Adrenal Health with Advanced Catecholamines Testing
Are you struggling with unexplained symptoms that leave you feeling anxious and uncertain about your health? Persistent high blood pressure, sudden sweating episodes, or racing heartbeats can be frightening and disruptive to your daily life. At Oracle Genomics, we understand how concerning these symptoms can be, which is why we offer the comprehensive Catecholamines Fractionated Random Urine Test to provide the clarity and answers you deserve.
Understanding Your Catecholamines Test
Catecholamines are crucial stress hormones produced by your adrenal glands that regulate your body’s “fight or flight” response. This advanced test specifically measures three key hormones:
- Epinephrine (Adrenaline) – The primary stress hormone that increases heart rate and blood pressure
- Norepinephrine (Noradrenaline) – Regulates blood pressure and heart function
- Dopamine – Affects mood, movement, and various bodily functions
Using state-of-the-art LC-MS/MS technology, we provide the most accurate analysis available, giving you and your healthcare provider reliable data for informed decision-making.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is essential if you’re experiencing any of these concerning symptoms:
- Unexplained or difficult-to-control high blood pressure
- Severe headaches that come and go unexpectedly
- Rapid or irregular heartbeat without obvious cause
- Excessive sweating, especially without physical activity
- Anxiety attacks or feelings of panic
- Pale skin and trembling hands
- Family history of adrenal tumours or endocrine disorders
If you’ve been diagnosed with hypertension that doesn’t respond well to medication, this test could provide the missing piece to your health puzzle.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested early can make a significant difference in your health outcomes:
- Peace of Mind – Either rule out serious conditions or catch them early when they’re most treatable
- Accurate Diagnosis – Provide your doctor with precise data for targeted treatment plans
- Prevent Complications – Early detection of adrenal tumours can prevent stroke, heart damage, and other serious complications
- Personalised Care – Results help create treatment strategies specifically tailored to your needs
Many patients experience tremendous relief simply from having answers and a clear path forward.
