A member asked:

Is there a hormone that reverses all of the actions (inc. genomic) of cortisol?

Specializes in Internal Medicine

More importantly...: If your cortisol is high it means your body is responding to some sort of stress. It would be better if you could identify this stress and remove it from your internal or external environment.

Im a 30 year old male. I had a high random urine sodium level of 80 mmol/L. My sodium blood tests have always been low or low normal the past few years. Could this be a low aldosterone problem or a hormone problem or low cortisol?
