Hi

I had this test at my Drs surgery.

It was at 10am in the morning.

Does it look normal to you? Dr report says normal?

Thanks x

Assuming that it is the mark near the top of the graph, it looks to be around 390nmol/ls which is within the range for that time of day. It's a strange way of presenting it though - usually it's numbers with the result range after it!

In that case it is slightly low & may need further investigation. Around 9am your cortisol level should be 400-500. Your GP probably says it's okay as it falls within the reference range however he might not be aware that the reference range is for all day.

What a very strange graph. I see that the NHS has a time machine and knows that your level will be very low on the 3rd September 2018!
