Elevated catecholamines can be seen with adrenal pheochromocytoma or extra-adrenal paraganglioma.
The main effects of exposure to chlorine gas include diseases of the lung and tooth corrosion. People with previous lung disease, smokers, and those with breathing problems are more sensitive to chlorine.
Cancer: There is no information currently available about whether chlorine causes cancer.

In general, chemicals affect the same organ systems in all people who are exposed.
2) the multiple sources of everyday radiation exposure, such as radon gas, and even flying; and 3) the competing risks such as dietary, genetic and other environmental factors (such as smoking).
Nevertheless, the medical community (for instance the AHA - Gerber et al, Circulation 2009; 119: 1056-1065) has called for such studies to help better understand these risks.
This started when I had my thyroid remove due to cancer. All my bloodwork, which is done every 6 weeks, comes back normal. I have no heart problems, no ashma or lung problems. I have asked all my doctors but nobody can tell me why this is happening or what can be done about it. What next?
Smoking isn't the only thing that causes lung cancer. Exposure to asbestos, for example, causes it as well. What you'd need to know is why she got lung cancer, if that's known, but here's the thing about "genetic" disease; even if there is a genetic disposition to disease in a family, it doesn't mean any particular person in the family will get it, it just means the risk is higher than it would have been otherwise. It is a sign to take good care of yourself.
You could be suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease like bronchitis or emphysema, heart attacks, strokes, cancer oral cavity and cancer lung. Consult a physician for the needful assessment so that any serious illness is screened and caught early for prompt management. Investigation would include chest xray or CT chest, blood tests, arterial blood gas analysis,spirometry, ecg, echo, assessment of effort tolerance. Hope this helps. Take care.

What about raiden Levi? That's kinda cute I think!
My husband has recurrent small cell lung cancer sense July. His health has really declined in the past month. He is having a hard time with his balance, his memory comes and goes and some days he is so out of it!!
He is loosing weight but his pants won’t button anymore. He had an ultrasound and they said it is gas. What could cause there to be that much gas?
He had a CAT scan of his chest today and they said there is NO significant interval change. HOW CAN THIS BE?????
And only a differential diagnosis can be obtained from this. Lung nodules can occur due to local causes like recurrent lung infections and sometimes due to cancer of the lungs. They can also be seen in systemic diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, sarcoidosis and scleroderma. Further evaluation will be based on whether the nodule is changing in size and systemic symptoms. A PET scan and biopsy may help in evaluation.
Forgot to mention I've been coughing for 8 weeks now but no blood and my gp said its nothing ??
Did you make any changes around the time this all started? Bath soap, laundry soap, anything you can think of? Do you have a gas furnace? You might want to have your house checked for mold and have the furnace checked. This is strange that it started with your daughter 8 years ago but is just starting to effect the rest of your family now.
Hi,
Form your description, you obviously have lung disease, but there is nothing to specifically suggest lung cancer. Please relax. I think that the CT has been ordered to get a detailed imaging of the lung and document extent of disease.
Smoking is a bad idea for anyone. For you, it could lead to severe health deterioration. Please quit smoking right away. Seek professional help if necessary.
Continue to be under the supervision of a pulmonologist.
All the best for the CT scan, and God Bless!
