A member asked:
I have double normal cortisol blood level, have burning pain under my ribs and on left side near umbilicus. could these symptoms be of adrenal tumor?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Blood cortisol varies considerably throughout the day, so a single value does not mean much. A cortisol-producing adrenal tumor is rare. Pain from an adrenal tumor would more likely cause back pain, if it caused pain at all. See your doctor, but this is unlikely to be an adrenal tumor.
