You need to do an urgent MRI head to look for any growth or tumor in your pituitary gland. Also imaging for other tumors like medullary cancer of thyroid, neuroendocrine tumors, carcinoid tumor and a lung imaging also should be done. The cause need to be found out first. Treatment depends on the cause. If treated early a lot of complications can be prevented. Also have an eye on blood sugar, blood pressure and your bone health.

The adrenal glands, which sit above the kidneys, are very important to your body as they secrete many important hormones. These hormones are required to regulate many functions within the body. The two most important hormones that these glands produce are cortisol and aldosterone . When your body suffers from the condition of Addison s disease, the glands end up producing very little amounts of these hormones. This will result in many functions in the body being adversely affected.
