Brief Answer:
Check the blood pressure.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone carefully through your concern.
The symptoms you described are suggestive for a fluctuation of the blood pressure.
Nomally, these cysts do not produce hormones and the adrenal cyst removal (partial adrenalectomy ) does not cause fluctuation of the adrenal hormone production.
Anyway, i would suggest to do a careful clinical examination and explain the situation to your physician who knows your diagnosis and your history.
I would suggest also to monitor the blood pressure and report it to your physician.
Wish you good health,
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
