Cool Need your opinion!!! please help.

Hi, my name is Joanna, I am 18 years old and would like to get your opinion on how I am feeling!

I am 5 3 and weigh 135.

Symptoms:
Lightheaded
Low blood pressure
ab. pain at different times
Weight Gain
Water retention around waste
High Hematocrat
Sunken eyes (feels dehydrated)
Purple below eyes
Facial flushing(goes from very pale to red)
Fatigued


My natural color is tan, and now I feel yellowish pale!

I am eating well but don't feel any better!

I am drinking lots of water & also salt for my low bp.

I got my electrolytes checked and they are all within normal range

My thyroid is normal

My blood sugar is normal

My iron is high

Liver enzymes were elevated but now normal

I feel my problems may be adrenal related!
I was dieting, and feel maybe there may be an imbalance in my hormones which is causing me to gain weight rapidly and retain water around my waste.

What should I asked to get check?
When you diet can your adrenal hormone change? Can it become too high or too low?
What specific tests?

Thank you so much, I really want to start feeling better!
