If you have untreated Addison's disease or damaged adrenal glands as a result of acute stress, such as a vehicle accident or an infection, you may experience more symptoms. Sudden dizziness, vomiting, and even loss of consciousness are among the symptoms. This is referred to as an Addisonian crisis.
