is my cortisol low?
My cortisol for AM came back as 6.9 and the range as listed on the lab document said normal 8.4-22.4.

My doctor said that the test was normal but what do you think? I have been having constant lightheadedness like i'm going to faint.

Thanks

Re: is my cortisol low?
Also, does the number have to be way low to have addison's? I know, for example, if your clood calcium is high then you have a good chance of having a parathyroid condition but the higher the number does not indicate a worse case of the disease; 10.3 and 12 mean no difference.
