The problem may be related to a disorder of the adrenal glands themselves or to inadequate secretion of adrenocorticotropic hormone by the pituitary gland. Symptoms of underactive adrenal glands include fatigue, weight loss, poor appetite, weakness and gastrointestinal problems.
When the adrenal glands produce too many hormones, they are classified as overactive, a condition that is also called Cushing's syndrome. Overactivity can be the result of tumors that grow on the adrenal or pituitary glands or from other medical conditions. The signs and symptoms of overactive adrenal glands vary by the individual, and by the extent to which the glands are malfunctioning. A change in your body's shape can be a sign that you have Cushing's syndrome. This progression can be slow and involve many different body parts.
