Major Symptoms Of Adrenal Insufficiency

Low Blood Pressure

Low blood pressure is more common in Addison’s disease rather than type 2 adrenal insufficiency. Low blood pressure means anything under 90/60 and is caused by low levels of aldosterone in the blood. Aldosterone helps to moderate blood pressure by controlling sodium and potassium in the body. If sodium is too low, aldosterone signals to the kidneys to add more to the blood. If potassium is too high, it signals to the kidneys to release it in urine. Symptoms of this condition include lightheadedness, dizziness, blurred vision, fainting, and nausea. In some cases, there may be no symptoms at all.
