| Re: High ACTH
Yea, my cortisol and ACTH were all measured in the morning hours. My cortisol levels were on the high end of the range, but they were still within 'range', my endo didn't seemed worried at all, but said he'll retest in two months to see where it's at. Naturally I am a worry wart and have high anxiety so I fed my anxiety by searching and searching the forums, google, just about everything and learned that stress in it self can raise ACTH and cortisol levels, and I am in a high stress job, I was going through a lot of stress financially and just overall stressed. My ACTH was high, double what it should of been but I learned that if it were a tumor or something like that my levels would most likely be MUCH higher we are talking 10 times the level I measured at. Do you have much information to provide in regards to ACTH?
