Treating an overactive adrenal gland typically involves lifestyle changes, medications, and supplements.
Lifestyle Changes: A healthcare professional may recommend lifestyle changes to help manage symptoms associated with an overactive adrenal gland. These changes may include reducing stress, getting enough sleep, eating a balanced and nutritious diet, and incorporating regular exercise into your daily routine.
Medications: Medications may be used to help control the hormones produced by the adrenal glands. These medications can include blood pressure medications, glucocorticoids, and mineralocorticoids. Your healthcare provider may also recommend medications for any underlying conditions that may be causing the overactive adrenal gland, such as an overactive thyroid or diabetes.
Supplements: Certain supplements may also be recommended to help support adrenal glands and reduce the symptoms associated with an overactive adrenal gland. These may include B vitamins, vitamin C, magnesium, and adaptogenic herbs such as ashwagandha, holy basil, and Rhodiola rosea.
It is important to talk to your healthcare provider before taking any supplements to make sure they are appropriate for your condition. Additionally, if you are taking any medications, make sure to inform your healthcare provider of all the supplements you are taking to avoid any potential interactions.
