Adrenal disorders occur when these glands produce too much or too little hormone &mdash; conditions include Addison&#8217;s disease (adrenal insufficiency), Cushing&#8217;s syndrome (excess cortisol), and adrenal tumours or nodules. These conditions are uncommon but important to identify, as symptoms are often non-specific and easily overlooked.<\/p>\n<h2>Common signs and symptoms<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Persistent fatigue, weakness or unexplained weight change<\/li>\n<li>Blood pressure that is unusually high or low<\/li>\n<li>Skin changes &mdash; darkening, thinning, or stretch marks<\/li>\n<li>Severe symptoms such as vomiting, dehydration or collapse need urgent medical attention<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What to expect at A Bit of Life Clinic<\/h2>\n<p>We take a careful history and arrange hormone testing to identify whether the adrenal glands are producing too much or too little hormone, along with imaging where a tumour or nodule is suspected.
