Hi,

How are you doing now? You need to discuss your reports and doubts in detail with your doctor and clear out any doubts that you have.

You could read about the 'empty sella sndrome' at the following link-

Cushing's syndrome would be more clear after you read about it -

Let us know if you have any further queries and post us about what your doctor advises.

Hope this helps.

Regards.
