5. Headaches
Getting headaches regularly can be a definite sign of having Addison’s disease. There is only been one case where this was the only symptom and Addison’s disease was diagnosed, but many people that have this disease report having headaches. They may be a mild dull ache, but some people have reported headaches as serious as migraines. The cause of headaches is inflammation, but the reason that that inflammation happens is due to the low cortisol levels in your body. Most people do not get regular headaches.
Most of the time, you either get headaches rarely for no reason at all, or you know what the cause of your headache is – such as a night of drinking alcohol. But if you are experiencing headaches without a cause and you are experiencing them frequently, it could be a sign of Addison’s disease and you should talk to your doctor.
