A member asked:
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?

Low cortisol: Diagnosing and treating low cortisol issues is complicated. Follow local teams advice. Always send laB numbers and the normal range for your lab. They all differ.
