Cushings disease

Hi, i have put on 2 stone round my upper stomach and just can't lose it. I have high bp. I take a bp table.

I'm walking for 1 hour a day but then have to lie down as I'm so fatigued and breathless. Also headache every day like my brain has pressure in it as well as muscle weakness. I'm rather confused.

Could I be showing signs of this disease

Low stomach acid and acid reflux both common symptoms when hypothyroid, especially if you have low Ft3

Previous post shows only TSH and Ft4 tested

Recommend getting full thyroid and vitamin testing
