The genetic cause of a lack of cortisol production is called congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). In both conditions, the ability of the adrenals to continue creating cortisol is diminished, resulting in fatigue, lethargy, depression, anxiety, food intolerances, decreased ability to handle stress, heart palpitations, blood sugar changes, low body temperature, diarrhea, and/or constipation. ![]() Adrenal fatigue or adrenal exhaustion are common conditions closely connected to vagus nerve dysfunction which are caused by excessive stress or a prolonged state of hyper excitability.
