Signs and Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue

Have you ever had a major cause of stress in your life, being an illness, children, home life, work, or just something in your day-to-day life?  After this stress have you felt like you just weren’t yourself, or some other unrecognisable feeling that you just can’t seem to put your finger on?  Do you find it hard to relax or exercise? Are you finding it harder to get over being sick? If so, you’re like many others and may be experiencing the first symptoms of ‘Adrenal Fatigue’.

Adrenal Fatigue is certainly not a new condition, as many have been experiencing this condition for years, it’s only that none were able to be properly diagnosed due to the fact that only now are doctor’s becoming aware of this type of illness.

This condition is when your adrenal glands don’t function properly, especially if you are experiencing stress.  These glands sit just over the kidneys and are responsible for secreting over 50 different kinds of hormones – including cortisol, progesterone, DHEA, estrogen and testosterone.

The causes of Adrenal Fatigue can come about due to emotional stress, smoking, drugs, poor diet, excessive sugar intake, and any other high level stress components.  When stress is experienced over a long period of time, the glands begin to produce less cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone. 

Cortisol plays an important role is allowing your body to handle stress as well as maintain a healthy immune system that protects the body from various illnesses.  When the adrenal glands struggle to meet the high demands of cortisol production, you eventually end up having adrenal fatigue.

Those suffering from adrenal fatigue will start to notice a distinct pattern in their energy levels.  They will find themselves very fatigued in the mornings, and not functioning fully until midday, and then, by the afternoon, they are starting to feel fatigued again.  Most that suffer from fatigue will have more energy in the early mornings as well as late at night.

Signs and symptoms that you are suffering from adrenal fatigue are;-

  • Salt cravings
  • Increased PMS
  • Mild depression
  • Lack of energy
  • Finding it hard to handle any level of stress
  • Muscle weakness
  • Memory loss
  • Decreased sex drive
  • Constipation and diarrhea, and many others  

 

If you think that you have adrenal fatigue, you’re able to have a simple salvia test done that will measure your level of free key adrenal hormones such as cortisol and DHEA.
