Adrenal fatigue is the name for the collection of symptoms that occur when the adrenal gland is underproductive. This condition is surprisingly common in the United States. The syndrome is most commonly associated with periods of intense or prolonged stress. Adrenal fatigue can also arise during or after acute or chronic infections, especially respiratory infections. The primary symptom is fatigue that is not relieved with quality sleep. Even though it is not a visibly obvious illness, it is a serious medical condition that needs treatment to preserve your health and wellbeing. People who have adrenal fatigue may look well, but they live with tiredness and general malaise. They may feel like they need to boost themselves through the day with coffee, soda, and other caffeinated beverages or stimulants.
Adrenal fatigue is caused by the malfunction of the adrenal gland, which leads to an imbalance in the hormones and neurotransmitters. This imbalance affects every single part of your body. Many patients who have adrenal fatigue live with lower stamina, fatigue, and a precarious feeling during normal day-to-day activities. Each person with adrenal fatigue has a unique experience, but the common complaints and symptoms include:
