A member asked:
What do i do if my cortisol saliva test came back double the normal rate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See you MD: All medical tests are subject to errors. If this is the first time you have had an abnormal reading it would be best to rerun the test. Various conditions may cause the cortisol levels in the saliva to increase. It would be best to consult with your md to properly evaluate the cause of these findings.
