Low cortisol?: Cortisol is a very important anti-inflammatory hormone secreted by your adrenal cortex. It is nature's prednisone. Too little cortisol can manifest as low blood sugar, inflammation, nausea , vomiting, anorexia and other symptoms your cortisol levels peak in the early morning. Maybe when your hubby gets up too early, his cortisol is too low and causes symptoms.
