Low Cortisol and Stress

[Guest guest]

 

Phil and Gentlemen,

 

   Does one need to be above the midpoint on the Cortisol range.   I have tested

at 6 and 7.5 on a scale of 2.3-19.4.   These are morning fast-blood levels.   My

sodium/potassium and thyroid panels all appear good but in every other way.   I

have all the symptoms of adrenal fatigue.

 

 I am also under a tremendous amount of stress at work.  I work out but am

finding that a morning work out only last a few hours before the stress takes

over.

 

I am considering asking my doctor for medicines to slightly evelvate the

cortisol level if this is the way to go???

 

If not does anyone have a better way to work with stress management other than

working out.   My body is taking a beating when the stress takes over.   I feel

like I just lost a 10 round boxing match.

 

Thanks,
