Pituitary Gland Issue / Question

Hello All:

Without getting to much into my issue, I have a basic question. Can your Pituitary Gland cause sleep issues such as not being able to sleep that well? I have a small Rathe Cleft Cyst pushing up against my Pituitary Gland and seeing as how the Pituitary Gland regulates so many other functions in the body, I was just wondering if it was at all possible that this could be affecting my sleep?

Thank You,

Paul

In short, yes. Sleep issues are one of the symptoms when the Pituitary Gland is not functioning properly.

...so one key to narrowing down the cause of your sleep issues would be to confirm whether or not the pressure on it is causing a problem with it...which, of course, only testing by a professional can confirm.
