A "heavy middle" is indicative of high cortisol - which is not done with routine blood tests. You should get serum cortisol and a 24 hour cortisol (urine) done to see what your cortisol levels are. ACTH is also another test (ACTH is what the pituitary secretes to tell the adrenals to release cortisol). Look up Cushing's syndrome.
Are you taking any steroids - prednisone, inhalers, etc?
