What are the symptoms of Addison's Disease?

Addison's Disease is a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough vital hormones, including cortisol and aldosterone.  Most cases of Addison's disease develop slowly over the course of months.  It may be difficult to notice the symptoms at first.  Events such as illness or injury can make symptoms more noticeable.

Symptoms of Addison's may include:

• Fatigue
• Darkened areas of skin in the palms, elbows, lips, or gums.
• Weight loss
• Low blood pressure
• Lightheadedness
• Low blood sugar
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Joint pain
• Depression
• Irritability
• Loss of body hair

Acute adrenal failure can produce sudden symptoms and may be life-threatening.  In these cases, it is important to seek emergency medical care.
