Adrenal Exhaustion Symptoms
The adrenal glands produce hormones that keep blood sugar in balance and help manage the body's energy levels. Most doctors don't accept adrenal exhaustion as a medical diagnosis. The symptoms are vague and could be the forerunner of a more serious thyroid problem. Adrenal exhaustion is often mentioned in alternative medicine literature.
