Problem: A 54-year-old man presents to the clinic for a two-week history of anxiety, profuse sweating, heat intolerance, and severe headaches. He notes that these symptoms seem to come and go but that he really notices them when he is working in his garden in the mornings. He also notes that the headache never really goes away. Upon further questioning, he recalls times when he felt like his heart was racing and "beating funny," like it would "come out of his chest." During physical examination, his blood pressure is 152/93 (normal 120/80), and it does not decrease after resting quietly for an hour. The attending physician orders a thyroid panel to determine blood levels of T3/T4 and has the patient record his blood pressure for a 24-hour period. The thyroid results are normal. What is the likely problem the patient is suffering from?
