Low acth just out of range, norm 24hr cort, high blood cort. just out of range. what could cause this? should i be concerned? had bad anxiety attacks
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably normal: Most likely normal and secondary to stress. If you really have a problem, the numbers are usually significantly out of the normal range. Since i don't have your numbers or the circumstances under which they were drawn, i can't tell you more. Check w/your doctor.
