Nausea & tumor

[WendyG]

I know I'm going to obsess now until I get this thing out.

New development for someone with an IRON stomach.  For past 2 days, I'm queasy after eating, sometimes before.  You know, the salivating kind of queasy.  I am NEVER queasy, never vomit.  My glucose hasn't been so hot past 2 days either.  I was reading this could just be from hypopituitarism - could it be a sign of any particular functioning tumor?

The symptoms are so erratic.  One day it's something, another day something entirely different.  I'm entirely convinced my frequent "coma like" daytime sleep attacks are more than the cortisol/glucose.  I think it might be growth hormone.  Although, sometimes I wake up shaking (cortisol?).  Anyone else had/have sudden fatigue during the day or nausea?

Thanks Enzymelover.  No, I'm not taking anything.  I told my endoc. I don't want to be on steroids.  I have some isocort in case of an emergency.  I actually do have some low dose dexamethasone leftover from an old IVF cycle too.  The thing is, these symptoms were occuring when my blood sugar was prediabetic, and my cortisol levels were coming back normal.  I've only had 1 low cortisol value, but since then, I have had the hypoglyc symptoms.  I'm not sure what is causing what.  I know the low cortisol is causing the hypoglycemia.  I just don't know if the adrenal insuffic. is causing the other symptoms, kwim?  I guess no one on here could tell me either, lol.  But I did at least for once feel BETTER after my nap today.

   Adrenal function does affect glucose levels, as well as endocrine function, fat and protein metabolism, connective tissue turnover, immune function, detox. capacity, and even quality of sleep.
Any cause of hypopituitarism could adversely affect adrenal function, from loss of ACTH, GH, TSH, ADH, and other pituitary hormones. I don't know if there is any particular type of pituitary tumor or cyst that would have a direct effect on a specific adrenal function. There wouldn't have to be.

It sounds to me like you are suffering from very low cortisol. Are you taking anything for adrenal support yet, such as hydrocortisone? Nausea and shaking are definitely signs of this. My son had these symptoms.
