Cevap: Addison's disease is a rare endocrine disorder that occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough of the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. Symptoms of Addison's disease can vary, but may include fatigue, weight loss, low blood pressure, darkening of the skin, salt craving, and muscle weakness.

One of the most common and earliest symptoms of Addison's disease is fatigue. This is a feeling of extreme tiredness and exhaustion which can range from mild to severe. Other symptoms can include darkening of the skin in certain areas, weight loss, low blood pressure, muscle weakness, abdominal pain, and nausea. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any of these symptoms as they may be indicative of Addison's disease.

Addison's disease is an endocrine disorder which affects the production of hormones by the adrenal glands. One of the most common symptoms of Addison's disease is a decrease in energy levels and fatigue. This can be due to a lack of hormones that are necessary for proper energy production. Other symptoms of Addison's disease include muscle weakness, low blood pressure, weight loss, and changes in skin colour. Other less common symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, loss of appetite, darkening of the skin, and salt craving. It is important to note that symptoms of Addison's disease can vary from person to person, and can range from mild to severe. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of the above symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
