Adrenal Fatigue Home Diagnostic Tests

Incline activity is particularly demanding for those with adrenal fatigue because it simultaneously requires cardiovascular adaptation and hormonal support. In healthy individuals, systolic blood pressure should rise 6–10 points when standing; a drop or abnormal spike indicates adrenal dysfunction. After moderate exercise, individuals with adrenal fatigue experience prolonged elevated pulse and disproportionate exhaustion lasting one or more days. A healthy adrenal system supports the ability to hold one's breath for at least 40 seconds; holding for fewer than 20 seconds suggests adrenal compromise. A pupil that fails to maintain constriction under sustained light — dilating within 10 seconds or oscillating — is an abnormal result suggesting autonomic dysregulation.
