How are my cortisol levels???
I've been having a lot of fatigue and constant infections along w dizziness when getting up from sitting or in the shower. Fatigue is worse in morning and around 2-4pm. Then at late night I get the most energy and have trouble sleeping. I get a lot of stomach upset too. I also have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. So I did ZRT labs the cortisol test since I was curious. For years since I was 13 blood cortisol has been at 35 (range 6.7-22.6)
The saliva cortisol came back:
Morning: 9:30am- 4.2 (range 3.7-9.5)
Noon: 12:20pm- 2.4 (range 1.2-3.0)
Before dinner: 4:30pm -3.4 (range 0.6-1.9)
Before bed: 12:30 am - 0.8 (range 0.4-1.0)
Just wondering what this means or if it's adrenal related. The morning seems borderline low but what do you think? Thanks!
