Do I Have Carcinoid Syndrome?

Although carcinoid syndrome is very rare, it can produce similar facial flushing symptoms as someone with social anxiety disorder. I felt it was important to discuss carcinoid syndrome and flushing, as many blushers are wary of this problem. An excerpt from the article below discusses a bit about this syndrome.

"The facial flushing caused by carcinoid syndrome varies with the location of the tumor. The most common flush occurs in the head and neck area in response to excitement, exercise, drinking alcohol, and eating. It usually lasts only minutes. The flushing is caused by the sudden release of the chemicals produced by the enterochromaffin cells. Carcinoid syndrome is diagnosed by a specialized urine test that measures a chemical called 5-HIAA."
