Medical history for Addison's disease
To help diagnose Addison's disease, your health professional may ask the following questions:
- What symptoms have you had?
- When did you notice the symptoms?
- Have you been sick, had surgery, or had a severe injury lately?
- Do you have a family history of Addison's disease?
- Do you have a disease that can affect the adrenal glands, such as cancer, tuberculosis, or HIV infection?
