5 signs your Cortisol (stress hormone) levels are too high

Cortisol is a hormone your body releases in response to stress. High levels over time can affect your mood, sleep, and even your weight. If any of these 5 signs show up, your body is making too much cortisol and evaluation is needed.

I had them all except for the purple stretch marks. I changed my diet and I exercise 1 hour everyday. I am 56 I went from 210 to 135 in a year. My life is worlds better

Quit sugar, caffeine and gluten for a start. Hot water and lemon to drink instead, earlier to bed too.

The point you have purple stretch marks - time for full on medical assessment as that's not stress level high, that is excess potentially causing cushings syndrome.

I have most of these, but I just had an adrenal panel and my cortisol is extremely LOW. Lots of people actally have low cortisol, and it will make you feel absolutely lifeless. Cortisol isn't a villain.

Interesting stuff. Never heard of this. Could you tell us how to get rid of it.

[amoameera]

Can we get symptoms with solutions, please 😊

[yolandaj]

Went to doctor last month and relayed and described most of these symptoms, ... doc sd "old age".

[DianneElizabeth]

I have chronically high cortisol but thankfully none of these symptoms.

[mirjetamustafa]

Okay, but can you tell us how to overcome

[Aseeyah-vtkl]

The goal / outcome is to decrease or remove these things. What is the cause and steps to remove them?

[thorsfan]

My goodness! Except for the purple things, I have the rest.😬

I have a tumor on my adrenal gland. Its been there over 5 years that i know of. My doctor finally diagnosed me with Cushings disease. But she hasn't done anything to treat it😢 Cortisol levels also cause bone loss, high blood pressure, thyroid, & many other problems!! I can't believe that no one really wants to help me get better!! My life is a nightmare!! I can barely crawl out of bed!!@💔😭😭😭

[debbiescott]

Ok. Then, tell us how to lower that cortisol level. Because no one, including a nutritionist, could not tell me how to lower it.

[sophiah]

How do I get rid of that deformity fat pack behind my neck?

[Poetyrael]

How long does it take to diagnose Cushing's disease?

For 8 months my doctor's are trying to figure out whether it is Cushing's disease or not? Is this normal?

I would love to start loosing some weight, but due to the hypercortisolism my doctor's said forget the weight loss part it won't work but do it for you psychological well being and muscle building.

I'm used to long periods of waiting regarding my allergic history, but it's kind of nerve wrecking to not know what's specifically wrong with oneself.

😞
