1How to Detect Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue?
Dr. Peter Dobie
2Adrenal fatigue is becoming more common with the
hectic lifestyle of todays world. People are
often unaware of this condition and it slowly
transforms into a chronic fatigue. There are many
symptoms of this condition, but these are not
directly related to it. You can search online to
find a specialist doctor in your area. In our
everyday life a number of stressors send signal
to our adrenal glands which produce stress
hormones. A variety of psychological and physical
demands such as lack of sleep, relationship
dynamics, financial concerns, family
responsibilities, stressful job, dieting and
emotional distress activate our adrenals, which
start providing hormones such as adrenaline and
cortisol in relatively small blasts of
strength. Adrenals are crucial to our health
from keeping us awake, focused and alert
throughout the day and providing a little burst
of energy while waking us up in the morning. The
adrenal glands become impaired in their ability
to respond properly, when these are required to
sustain high cortisol levels constantly.
3This results in affecting our short-term response
to stress and decreases adrenal glands ability of
producing and balancing hormones like
progesterone, testosterone and DHEA. These
hormones are vital for our long-term health and
well-being. Symptoms of imbalance in adrenal
glands Symptoms are basically a way by which
our body informs us that its not getting the
support it requires. All the symptoms have
actually no direct relationship with adrenal
fatigue, but a unique aggravating pattern is
found when all these different factors are taken
into consideration. What you need to do is to
look if these tendencies are common in the
behaviour of your body.
4The symptoms Energy Lack of stamina, ongoing
fatigue, always on speed forward, unable to stop,
lack of desire to get up and go, feeling wired
and tired much of the time. Weight changes and
craving for food You may see an abnormal gain of
weight in the thigh and abdomen area of your
body. An uncontrollable feeling and craving for
sugary or salty foods. Blood pressure
Fluctuations in blood pressure, either high or
low. Light headedness is generally associated
with low blood pressure.
5Sleep You may develop an inability to sleep
properly. Nightly wake ups and then unable to go
back to sleep will become common aspects. In some
cases, people have a sound sleep, but they wake
up exhausted. Response of immune system you
may get vulnerable to infections quite often.
Also, it would take a longer duration to recover
from infections or illness in comparison to
others. Emotions and coping ability People
suffering from this type of chronic fatigue
develop an inability to face daily stress level.
They have an overwhelmed feeling much of the
time, struggle to get through the day, anxiety
attacks, unable to reframe ones thoughts.

one specific task, mentally foggy, chronic racing
thoughts and fuzzy thinking. Hormones/Libido
