Evaluated by endo: hypoadrenalism either due to a problem with pituitary gland or the adrenal gland, can be easily diagnosed with appropriate hormone testing by a trained endocrinologist. It is highly important, to establish the diagnosis before starting the treatment, as wrong diagnosis has consequences. I would recommend referral to an endocrinologist for evaluation.
