Tired: There are many reasons for feeling tired and one of them is the adrenal. Usually there are many more symptoms than feeling tired so i suspect your adrenals are not an issue. Please visit your primary care doctor for more advice.

No assumptions: In medicine you do not start with the diagnosis. You start with the symptoms. Fatigue is a common complaint in our world where we eat too much sugar, do not get enough good sleep and do not exercise. Energy drinks are often causing more fatigue by wearing out the heart muscle by causing the heart to beat too fast tricking the brain that this is energy. You need a thorough blood and medical test.

Need more info: Adrenal glands have multiple endocrine functions. When there is a problem with the hormones made by the adrenals a lot of things go wrong. Feeling tired is just one of many symptoms. Please consult with your primary care physician because tiredness has many, many causes.
