Do you have the symptoms associated with low cortisol levels? Normally a person who is suffering from hypocortisolism feel weak, tired, even disoriented from low blood sugar. They can suffer nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Your blood pressure could fluctuate or drop when you are standing up. Do any of those sound like they apply to you?
I'm interested in what led you to get your cortisol levels tested? Was there something that made you suspect your levels might be low?
May I ask how old you are?
Do you have other medical issues? Thyroid, diabetes, anything hormonal? Weight gain or loss?
Did your doctor discuss whether to treat you with synthetic cortisol drugs?
If you could get back to me with some answers, I would be glad to submit this to one of our medical experts for you.
