All but pretty much one of your chronicle is about HIGH cortisol, not low.

Low cortisol will lead to "adrenal suppression and crisis".

As for the rest, they are symptoms of high cortisol and could be a symptom detail for Cushing's syndrome.

This list does not describe what normal cortisol does - and it is necessary for enthusiasm, metabolism and blood pressure etc.



I had Cushing's. I also had my adrenal's removed so I know both high and low. Source(s): I live near abnormal cortisol levels - both high and low.
