Cortisol levels addisons help

Husband has all the symptoms of addisons. Just had his levels checked, first cortisol result 441. Second cortisol after Atch test at 30 mins, was 487.

I read somewhere that anything below 497 after the ATCH was indicative of a problem. Also don't think the cortisol level has increased sufficiently but the notes came back from hospital that it was a normal result.

Can anyone advise if these levels indicate a problem?

I've been fretting about my cortisol levels for some time now too, LuckyLisa. The best forum to ask is probably the Thyroid UK one. Hope you get some help; it's a worrying problem x
