Blood tests show low cortisol. awaiting endocrinology app. allergies are increasing. is there a link between low cortisol and allergies? thank you.

Likely not related: cortisol testing should be interpreted in relation to the time of the day. Cortisol level should be obtained at 8 o'clock in the morning, for evaluating hypoadrenalism. Low cortisol and allergies are likely not related. Using high-dose steroid medications for treating allergies, might be a cause for possible hypoadrenalism.

Not necessarily : There is none. But cortisone is used to treat some allergies
