Adrenal Fatigue Symptoms
Although adrenal fatigue is not a medical diagnosis but this condition is pretty common and it is described in numerous books, articles, blogs and researches. Adrenal fatigue symptoms may be different but numerous though. They often include exhaustion, irritability, body and bones aches, problems with stomach and insomnia. Because it is not a medical diagnosis, and due to the fact that the symptoms of adrenal fatigue are often various, it is often hard to expose this occurrence it time. It can become a permanent problem and in this case the situation will become much more complicated.
The main question which arises therefore: why does it happen? The majority of people obviously don’t know much about adrenal glands, but in fact these organs play a huge role in the human life. Numerous hormones produced by these glands are essential in many ways and when the precarious balance gets broken it causes many health problems.
Such state is also known as adrenal insufficiency or in simple words malfunction of adrenal glands. When the endocrine profile of the body is not stable the person may look totally perfect, but the levels of energy get misbalanced, and the person experiences symptoms. The following occurrences may indicate possible disease:
- Morning passivity. You may wake up at 6am, but even though you would feel half-asleep for two or three more hours although you slept enough time.
- Afternoon inertness. A couple hours after the midday you may experience sudden sleepiness and lack of concentration.
- Energy burst around the end of the working day.
- One more period of inertness after 9pm, although you are not planning to go to bed so early.
- A “second breath” lasting from 11pm to 1am.
The person may experience such syndrome for a long period of time, not paying attention that this is abnormal. In many cases people think it is a part of the aging process or that it happens due to lack of sleep. In fact if this timetable becomes a part of your life even when you get enough sleep and relaxation, you need to act. Symptoms of adrenal fatigue in women may also include aggravated PMS symptoms or menopausal condition, possible manifestations of depression, reduced sex drive etc. Other possible symptoms may include problems with memory, low blood pressure and feeling cold all the time, intense desire to eat something salty, sweet or fatty, overall weakness and sickliness, aggravation of allergic reactions, dizziness when getting up too quickly from the sofa or bed, constant sighing and other symptoms.
Due to these factors the cardiovascular and immune systems get excessive workload. The body starts fighting each occurrence separately without ability to figure out what is the real causative agent of the overall weakness. It becomes a real checkout for the human body especially in case of presence of any other chronic diseases.
