Hello,
I would explain that her symptoms could be related to Cushing disease. For this reason, I recommend checking cortisol plasma levels and some other blood lab tests (ACTH, complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, PCR, ESR). You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
