A member asked:
Will i feel anything bad when being injected with cortrosyn for my blood test? am prone to high hr, low bp, and nervous!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: Cortrosyn is a synthetic acth (adrenocorticotropic hormone) administered to see if the adrenal gland can make cortisol when stimulated. It would be very rare to have an adverse reaction. One could have a hypersensitivity reaction, but again would be quite rare.
