well the answer to your question is "yes and no. " one of the symptoms of adrenal gland insufficiency can be orthostatic hypotension which is a condition most of us have experienced where our blood pressure drops upon standing and we feel momentarily light-headed. so from the standpoint that orthostatic hypotension can be measured with a blood pressure cuff (take a reading when someone's sitting down and then take another reading immediately when they stand up and compare the two results) then yes one possible indicator of adrenal gland function can be checked with a blood pressure cuff. however diagnosing adrenal gland problems is not that simple. there are many many factors to take into consideration. diagnosing adrenal problems requires at the very least blood testing and a physical exam by a medical professional. the two main adrenal gland-related diseases are addison's disease and cushing's syndrome both of which are very rare. a book recently was written about a "condition" called "adrenal fatigue. " however there are no scientific studies i know of that support the hypothesis of this so-called disease. if you suspect you have adrenal gland problems you should see someone who is licensed to diagnose and treat such diseases -- namely a physician physician assistant or nurse practitioner. i hope this helps!
can adrenal gland function really be checked with a blood pressure cuff and how could a chiropractor fix that?
