What Symptoms Can Be Observed While Having Improper Functioning Of Adrenals?
My labs indicate my adrenals are not working correctly and since I have not been feeling well for say 4-6 mo. My doctor wants to order a MRI of my pituitary and some mor labs and refer me to a endocrinologist. I don t think that whatever is wrong is serious, as I am sure I would feel much worse. My question is what is the worst possible problem it could be? Also I worry I am going down the rabbit hole at this point, not really knowing anything, I realize you cannot diagnose me. I do not have a copy of the labs, but when the doctor called she said my ACTH was high.
