Cushing's Syndrome and Corticosteroids (Part 2)
Вставка

- Corticosteroid medications are commonly used to treat many types of diseases, ranging from asthma to arthritis. Many people, after taking corticosteroid medications for long periods of time, begin to gain weight, have high blood pressure, and become weaker, a set of symptoms known as Cushing's Syndrome. Tune into this episode of Medicurio to learn why these symptoms occur and how Cushing's Syndrome is related to Addison's Disease.
Cool links to check out:
The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases has a nice write-up on Cushing's Syndrome, as well as how to test for this disease: www.niddk.nih.gov/health-info...

your videos are criminally underviewed.
I hope that changes soon...

good video
Hi this video is a great explanation of the causes of clinical manifestations!! Thank you! What are your references? I've been looking for a reliable in-depth textbook that explains signs and symptoms of diseases! Thank you!
Pleaseeee make more videos 😭😭
awsome
Not sure if you take requests, but have you thought about doing a video lesson on the various adrenergic receptors and how they are exogenously manipulated to treat high heart rate and blood pressure, along with asthma?
Yes I have thought about doing a video on Beta blockers and that may be happening in the future.
Medicurio Thanks. Love your presentation of these biological functions.
Hi. Ive taken asmanex hfa (mometasone furoate) for 3 days, and quit because of side effects. Its been a week now since i quitting and i still having dizziness, anxiety, depression. I dont know if its cycled off yet or just its withdrawing effects. What would you suggest? Thanks
So I’ve been on steroids since last August, managed to come down from 40 mg to 13 mg but recently I’m feeling so overwhelmed and have so much an anxiety. I know it’s because of the steroids but my doctors not helping. I’ve gained so much weight, and every time I get up I get syncope type symptoms and a pressure headache that goes away after a few minutes. Shall I increase steroids back up or do I keep on my weaning plan.
What causes these symptoms, I know you will say go and get checked but I’m wondering what your opinions maybe .
Can you please do a video on mast cell activation syndrome
Excellent information thanks a lot God bless
Plz upload video on tumors of brain
there is also cyclical cushings.
I have a question ,can 1 injection of corticosteroid like dexamethasone cause these side effects
And the higher calcium in the blood causes calcification of the arterial wall.
Body curve kase hoge
Yes! This is the best eye ovening video In the best UA-cam channel.
This is the best.
I've only ever met the term, "stress eating" as an excuse for obesity or as a description of emotional stress calorie consumption; colloquially phrased as, "I eat junk food when I'm stressed." (The use in this video seems more accurate.)
I have all the symptoms except high blood pressure. I was 160 lbs and now 211 lbs in just 5 months. I have the moon face and a hugh belly with the stretch marks. How to test for Cushing's? Blood test or MRI?
Since Cushing's syndrome is due to elevated cortisol levels, the usual tests are to check cortisol levels in the urine, saliva, and blood. You can also test if your body is resistant to cortisol by administering dexamethasone (similar to cortisol). Normally, people's cortisol levels will go down after dexamethasone because it has negative feedback on the hypothalamus and anterior pituitary, but people with Cushing's syndrome will still have high cortisol levels. Talk to your doctor about your symptoms and get your cortisol levels checked at a hospital ASAP.
Check cortisol and ACTH. But it also could be only a thyroid problem. First check your thyroid.
I had to get the above 24 urine test blood work MRI and all kinds otheyf cat scans they finally told me i have cushing syndrome and high blood pressure and type two diabetes get check soon i have two tumors on my adrenal glands and need surgery
Ive been using symbicort for asthma every day for 3 months, could this trigger cushings syndrome? I have all the symptoms, including an enlarged adrenal gland that I just got scanned
big adrenals are overstimulated, not under
Hi... I also recently used the same medication for asthma after 1 month, now I noticed a hump at the back of my neck and was wondering the same as you! How are you now? This is the reason why I came across this video.
me watching this video realising that i might have cushing syndrome and increasing further more my cortisol levels cause I'm stressing about it
Hi,I have gone through the use of very heavy doses of carticostoroid pills and shots both tougher at a very heavy doses for two months,that time I was not aware of the side effects,but after 4 year plus of that coure my life is getting more and more complicated,I always feel dizzy,less enrgy,anixity,pain in my cheast,severe weight loss and increased gloucose levels, after 4 year of that medication till now I have not recovered,so does it mean that my adrenals are permanently shut down or I have got primary Addison diseases
You should definitely go see a doctor about your symptoms and bring up the possibility of Addison's disease. Stopping heavy corticosteroid use may result in secondary Addison's disease.
who treats addison's disease. i go to drs and get nothing but talk useless.@@Medicurio
Get checked out for Addisonism AND type 1 diabetes.
Halo which corticosteroid shots u received please tell
MEDICURIO NEVER FAILS TO MAKE THE LESSON PLAN CRYSTAL CLEAR... SO THAT EVEN A DUMB, RETIRED JOCK, LIKE ME. CAN COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND EVERY ASPECT OF THE SUBJECT... THANKS
Why would low cortisol level decreases ACTH secretion ???!!
High cortisol decreases ACTH secretion via negative feedback. Low cortisol shouldn't decrease ACTH secretion
Medicurio yes I know that I thought it was mentioned in the video but I miss understood thank you the
I wish I could give this video at least 50 likes
Hahahaha... It must be because he's south African... Just like me!
No.... Reducing cortisol is not the best way to manage this disease. The body naturally raises its cortisol levels in order to MANAGE the presence of Inflammation....Elevated glucose levels is ALSO A NATURAL RESPONSE of the body to Chronic Inflammation. The INFLAMMATION at its ROOT CAUSE must be dealt with, and the symptoms will slowely disappear... What many people don't know is that
Cushing Syndrome is strongly linked to Intestinal Parasites....causing Chronic Inflammation... Raising Cortisol levels... Which allows proliferation of Intestinal Nematodes such as whip worms, tape worms, thread worms, pin and hook worms causing havoc to the Endocrine System. These nematodes also produce their own hormones further disrupting the delicate balance of hormones. The Species causing Spondylitis are very hard to detect in tests and often overlooked in stool analysis. Treatment that is usually effective is: Ivermectin & Albendazole Combined, and repeated after several weeks.... Messing with the endocrine system by taking medications to reduce cortisol and blood glucose will further upset the endocrine system. These nematodes rob the body of vital minerals,... damage the digestive tract..., so to the treatment regime should include natural Vitamin, mineral, Trace mineral and natural sea Salt supplementation. And soon followed by a healthy whole food plant based diet.... Animal products should be completely avoided for a period of time to avoid reinfection. This is a simple and cheap treatment anyone can try before looking at other factors....
Sad adrenal gland. She said stop but nobody hear :(
The stress syndrome is the same
cushings can be causes by an adrenal tumor , not just the pituatary.
Absolutely. I talk about tumors in the adrenal gland a little bit (@1:54) but tumors in the pituitary are by far the most common reason for endogenous Cushing's syndrome and is known as Cushing's disease. Both lead to high cortisol levels, and both can be treated by surgically removing the tumor.
Hummm... My doctor said there are no side effects to this medication. (???) Time for another doctor?
Perhaps your doctor meant that there were no significant side effects if taken properly at the right doses? You should ask him/her about it next time. It is important to have a good patient-doctor relationship where both sides explain everything clearly.
Medicurio That's very true, thank you. I'll try that.
there is no other drs. we are screwed
ya w to find one who is going to pay for it. they give steroids out like candy to medicare patiants and then your in for life threats phsychosis depression ostioper- @@Medicurio
Doctors no nothing about treating this and very danger in doing any thing for it.
why don't he just spit it out. i will not have that poison put in my body again
