please help me understand test results hormonal imbalance or not?

Hi everybody,

So I got my results back from a blood test for hormonal disbalances and there are two results that just jump out for me: aldosteron 1008 pmol/L (range: 56-660) and renine conc. 35.0 ng/L (range; 3.5-28.5). My cortisol is also very low and dr. mentioned a disturbance in glucocorticoid metabolism, which I don't understand even when I google it. The rest seems ok, given the range they're in.

The reason I got this test done is because I'm very tired and have a constant headache that peaks around my period. It all seems hormonal to me.

I would be so grateful if anyone could explain this to me and actually answer my questions! It took me months already to get my blood tested and if my hormones are not the cause I want to know so I can carry on searching.

Best wishes,
