Symptoms of Adrenal Fatigue | Dr. Washatka
Often, individuals are unaware that they are suffering from adrenal fatigue. This is because many of the symptoms present themselves slowly.

- Body aches and pains
- Trouble sleeping
- Extreme exhaustion and fatigue
- Salt or sugar cravings
- Weight gain or weight loss
- Dizziness or shakiness
These are just a few of the ways that adrenal fatigue presents itself in adults. Because the symptoms of adrenal fatigue are relatively common, they are easily overlooked. Unfortunately, many people mask their adrenal fatigue by consuming stimulants such as caffeine. This is why it is crucial to work with a functional medicine doctor.
