Cushings and thyroid

So I've been having multiple tests for hormones and a dexamethasone 1mcg suppression test Wass done as my cortisol remained higher than 50 (the cut or is 50mnol and mine wasac 85.

I was wondering if anyone has had cushing tests on here and if this lack of suppression can be caused by anything else. I have hypothyroid aswell but medicated.

Thanks. Any advice would be helpful.

I'm now booked for a 2 day dexamethasone test and urine cortisol 48hour test
