What Causes The Symptoms Of Pituitary Malfunction, High Cortisol Levels And High Calcium?
I have been having symptoms of a pituitary malfunction, high cortisol levels, high calcium along with hirstuism, large stretch marks. Also pressure behind left eye. Dr ordered MRI on Friday which showed nothing. Then I had an extreme headache, vision blurry & changed in left eye followed by kind of pop sensation then tasting fluid in back of throat. I don t have pressure behind eye anymore. But BP is irratic & I feel weak one minute & good the next. Dr said I m fine since MRI didn t show anything but I beg to differ! Could a cyst have been missed?

Hello,
Thank you for trusting HCM.
Show your MRI results for another doctor for consultation, other than ask for cortisol suppression test, levels of ACTH should be monitored and abdominal MRI those to check if there is any problem of the adrenal glands.
Kind regards,
Dr. Ahmad
