Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 I stumbled accross this self test for adrenal fatigue and was wondering if anyone on the group had see it or used it? I tested mine and it came up that I do have it according to this test. Is there anyone on the list that has been diagnosed with Adrenal fatigue? If so would you mind doing the test to see if it is accurate? Thanks, Pupil Dilation Test Another way to test for adrenal dysfunction is the pupil dilation exam. To perform this on yourself, you'll need a flashlight and a mirror. Face the mirror, and shine the light in one eye. If after 30 seconds the pupil (black center) starts to dilate (enlarge), adrenal deficiency should be suspected. Why does this happen? During adrenal insufficiency, there is a deficiency of sodium and an abundance of potassium, and this imbalance causes an inhibition of the sphincter muscles of the eye. These muscles normally initiate pupil constriction in the presence of bright light. However, in adrenal fatigue, the pupils actually dilate when exposed to light.
