10 Cushing Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #1: Weight Gain
Significant weight gain over a short period of time is a tell-tale sign of Cushing syndrome, even though there are no drastic changes in the lifestyle. One important thing to notice when it comes to rapid weight gain because of Cushing disease is that this fat is located on specific body parts.
In general, the fat is accumulated in the abdomen and torso, including the neck area, face, midline, and upper back. On the other hand, the upper and lower extremities are not affected, and sometimes they may even become thinner.
