3. What Are the Symptoms of Addison’s Disease?
If the hormones that help regulate your heart function aren’t produced, the symptoms associated with this problem are similar to those typical in cardiac patients. These symptoms include fatigue and muscle weakness. You may also feel lightheaded or become more prone to fainting due to dips in blood pressure.
Gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are likely to occur, resulting in decreased appetite and weight loss. Other common symptoms are dehydration, low blood sugar, and the darkening of your skin, particularly in the folds of skin around your joints.
