Possible manifestations: severe weakness, dizziness, low blood pressure, abdominal pain, nausea, and confusion may appear.

Which specialist manages it? In the acute phase, the critical care and intensive care specialist steps in, while follow-up of hormonal control falls to the endocrinologist. When symptoms worsen quickly, the wise course is to seek professional care immediately.
