A member asked:
What does it mean to high cortisol in the am and normal cortisol level in the pm? i have been struggling with weight gain for over a year now.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Upon what "high" means. It's most likely normal since it falls to normal in the pm. See you doctor if you have questions. He can easily do an overnight suppression test as an outpt.
