A member asked:
I think my anxiety is medically related? too much production of cortisol? what test can i do? always feel stressed. i have a very supportive family.

Cortisol excess: Would be a very unlikely cause of anxiety - more often psychological in etiology. It is easy, however, for your doctor to check your levels with simple blood test if you need reassurance.
