Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Hypopituitarism is tested by blood tests can identify low levels of thyroid, adrenal or sex hormones, and can determine if these low levels are associated with inadequate pituitary hormone production. Glucogan stimulation test is used for to know growth hormone deficiency in adults.
If you have hypopituitarism then you may undergo under your doctor guidance. CT or MRI to know empty sella syndrome. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
