Adrenal issues can be identified through various symptoms, such as extreme fatigue or exhaustion, muscle weakness, difficulty sleeping or insomnia, changes in your skin color, low blood pressure, and cravings for salty foods. It is important to consult your healthcare professional, as they may suggest tests such as a cortisol level test or an ACTH stimulation test. Additionally, your doctor may want to do a physical exam to check for signs of other conditions that could be causing similar symptoms. Finally, your doctor may want to review your medical history and discuss lifestyle changes that can improve your overall health.

If you believe you may have adrenal issues, it is important to talk to your doctor. Your doctor can evaluate your symptoms and take blood tests to determine if your adrenal glands are functioning properly. Common symptoms of adrenal issues include extreme fatigue, body aches, depression, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping. Other symptoms may include low blood sugar, a weakened immune system, low libido, and unexplained weight loss or gain. If you have any of these symptoms, it is important to get them checked out by a doctor.
Your doctor may also order blood tests to check your cortisol levels. Cortisol is a hormone released by the adrenal glands that helps regulate your body's stress response. High cortisol levels can be a sign of an overactive adrenal gland, while low cortisol levels can indicate an underactive gland. Your doctor may also order other tests to check your levels of other hormones such as aldosterone and DHEA.
If your doctor suspects that you have an adrenal issue, they may refer you to a specialist. An endocrinologist can help diagnose and treat any adrenal issues you may have. They may recommend lifestyle changes to help reduce the stress on your body, such as getting more sleep or exercise. In some cases, they may prescribe medication to help regulate your hormones.
