Cushings would give hypertension, facial hair growth and hair on the body in a male distribution, acne, and in some extreme cases behavior changes approaching psychosis. Cushingoid obesity typically involves the face quite a bit...some doctors use this sign to decide on testing for it.
There are blood tests for this, so a visit to your doctor could help diagnose this. There are two basic forms of Cushing's. One is a pituitary adenoma, and the other is a tumor on the adrenal gland.
