Have you ever heard of someone having it happen with high cortisol? I've

wondered if it's possible to have high cortisol and low aldosterone at the

same time.

I did a saliva test and it actually came back showing I had high morning

cortisol, and it was normal the rest of the day. I've definitely had

attacks like this- peeing a full bladder every 10-15 minutes, bowel dumping

(not diarrhea) with gut clearing. Nausea and vomiting, chills. My doctor

questioned the validity of the saliva test since some things appeared to be

drastically off, and it didn't match my symptoms at all. I've had blacking

over when I stood up for a long time, finally resolving on the salt water.

Salt water has helped me a great deal. I find if I drink any plain water at

all, it puts me into a tailspin. I've also read that avoiding

high-potassium foods help.

Thanks!
