10 Cushing Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #5: Fatigue
Fatigue is a general sign that something is wrong with the body. For those suffering from Cushing syndrome, feeling constantly tired and weak is common. Increased cortisol levels in the human body will have an impact on how the body breaks down the nutrients in the gastrointestinal system, and this syndrome can affect the way how it processes proteins.
Because cortisol plays an important role in the normal functioning of the muscles and body in general, fatigue and muscle weakness is quite common. This makes even the simplest daily task very difficult or impossible. Regardless, if a person manages to sleep and rest, feeling tired and exhausted constantly is a common problem for those diagnosed with Cushing syndrome.
