Epidural blood patch: is a procedure in which autologous blood is injected epidurally at or near the site of prior LP, epidural, spinal. It works by sealing the cerebrospinal fluid leak & by dural tamponade resultant from volume replacement. Pressure from the latter mechanism uncommonly causes transient back pain and paresthesia, usually a good sign. Fever may be seen too. Dr should be informed rig

My cortisol + ACTH are both very low. I also have severe nausea, fatigue, and low blood pressure. My ACTH stim test showed that I do *not* have adrenal insufficiency. Could the low cortisol still be the cause of the nausea? If so, how do I raise it?
