Checklist for Adrenal Fatigue
As we are back into the rat race of overworking and then indulging in escapism rituals like holidays, holidays and more holidays, you may realise after a while that you are in a constant tiredness that does not wear away with sleep, no matter how long that is. When people would ask how you are doing and the “I’m just tired” response was used too many times. Usually tiredness is not the only discomfort that is felt as many other accompanying symptoms can tag along. And if majority of the symptoms are ticked, you may be suffering from Adrenal Fatigue.
Want to check if you are fatigued, adrenally?
Check those symptoms that you are feeling all these while:
1. Decreased ability to handle stress, mood swings, irritability
2. Weight gain, especially around the mid rift or the muffin top syndrome
3. Increased food intolerances, allergies and sensitivities
4. Low blood pressure or light headedness
5. Feelings of blacking out
7. Always tired, not refreshed by sleep
8. Unexplained muscle soreness or weakness
10. Low immunity or catching a flu easily
11. Frequent feeling of coldness in hands and feet
12. Depression and frequent feelings of despair
13. Unexplained nausea
14. Unexplained need for caffeine to get going in morning
15. Swollen lymph nodes
16. Swelling in the face and eyes when waking
17. Strong cravings for salty or sweet or fatty foods
18. Disrupted sleep or difficulty falling asleep
19. Increased PMS symptoms
20. A burst of energy that keep you awake till 1am or 2am if not asleep by 10.30pm
21. Heavy periods for the first few days which stop and then start up again a couple of days later
So if you have more than half of the symptoms, chances are that you are suffering from Adrenal Fatigue.
