Guest guest Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I wish I could say that your information is accurate, but it isn't. That's why we need very specialized testing to confirm what exactly is going on in our bodies.

Rest for five K> minutes in recumbent position (lying down) before taking the K> reading. Stand up and immediately take the blood pressure again. if K> the blood pressure is lower after standing, suspect reduced adrenal K> gland function. The degree to which the blood pressure drops while K> standing is often proportionate to the degree of hypoadrenalism. K> (Normal adrenal function will elevate your BP on the standing K> reading in order to push blood to the brain.) K> (Thanks to Roxanna for providing part of the above.) K> TEST TWO: K> Another test uses the eyes. Shine a bright light (like a flashlight) K> or penlight in your eyes from the side and hold it there for about a K> minute. Carefully observe the pupil. In adrenal fatigue it will get K> small and then after a while it will enlarge again or sort of K> flutter in it's attempt to stay constricted. In a healthy person, K> shining a light in their eyes causes the pupil to constrict and stay K> that way as long as it is there. K> TEST THREE: K> Are you very sensitive to bright light? That could be a sign of K> adrenal fatigue. K> TEST FOUR: K> You can determine if you need more adrenal support by following Dr K> Rind with a temperature graph. You simply have to take your temp 3-4 K> times a day and make a chart. If your temp is fluctuating you need K> more adrenal support. If it is fluctuating but overall low, you need K> more adrenal support and thyroid. If it is fluctuating but averaging K> 98.6, you just need adrenal support. If it is steady but low, you K> need more thyroid and adrenals are likely fine. K> ~Inga K> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I agree. I don't have all the answers. Just sharing in case helps some to take to their docs.
