Welcome to EmpowHER. Early symptoms of low cortisol can be fatigue, headache, weakness, dizziness and orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure upon standing). Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are often present as well as an inability to tolerate cold temperatures. Left untreated, the symptoms progress into muscle weakness, weight loss, dehydration, hypotension, irritability and depression. It's important to talk to your doctor about this, only he can explain the reasons for your weight gain and all other symptoms.
