A member asked:

What are the symptoms of low cortisol?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. David Sneid answered

Unlikely: Weight loss, low bp, fatigue etc. It's an unlikely diagnosis. If concerned, see your doctor. Don't get your medical info from friends, tv or particularly the internet.

What are the symptoms of addison's disease other than low cortisol levels?
My 9am cortisol was tested as low at 167.000 nmol/L (Range: 166 - 507). Then referred to Endo who said it wasnt low enough despite me having symptoms. My cortisol is always on the Cusp of the lab range, often a few below. Is it true not low enough?
Morning (5 am) cortisol level is 1. (normal range 6- 22.6 ). Is it dangerous for it to be that low? Been having increasing ambiguous symptoms.
Morning cortisol levels are low and have symptoms. however, last test it was at the lowest end of the scale exactly - so Dr said it was normal.. would you interpret AM cortisol level of 138 (range used 138 -635) as normal?
Dear sir, how do I should know the symptoms of low cortisol. Because it has same symptoms with hypothyroidism, which I have ?
