Hi, I am an active 38yr old male with no medical diagnosis. I run 4 -5 times a week and workout with weights daily. I have had irritable bowels which I get cramping and bloated and can have up to seven to eight formed bowel movements a day. I haven t got treatment, because it goes away on it s own. Usually when I am not stressed. (not at work).Recently, I went to my dentist and had a blood pressure of 140/92, p 62. Now, I was not at all stressed in dentist because it was just a cleaning. I went home and have been getting elevated blood pressure reading on my monitor. Finally, I got really bad excersise induced Headaches which I did seek medical attention and I received an MRA. it was negative. SO my question is could I have symtpoms of cushing syndrome? or some other hormone induced disease? I want to completed several triatholons this summer.
Hello dear, and thanks for posting your query. I don't see any reason to suspect you having Bushings disease. Although Bushings is one of the hormonal reasons for increased blood pressure, but generally other signs and symptoms are also present like obesity mainly neck and face, edema, skin bruising, hirsutism and others. So there is very little possibility for you to have it. Just monitor your blood pressure and if it persistently remains above 140/90, consult your doctor and start a BP lowering medicine. I hope this information would be of help to you. Thanks and all the best.
