High AM cortisol with unexplained weight loss, lack of appetite

Posted by snoopyluv345 @snoopyluv345, Aug 1, 2025

High AM cortisol with unexplained weight loss and lack of appetite....

Has anyone else experienced this problem?
AI suggests it could be early stages of adrenal dysfunction but I can find no information to support this.

Thank you.

Hello, how are you? If the cortisol alteration is already confirmed, I suggest you contact an endocrinologist who will be in charge of following the steps to determine why you have high cortisol levels.

Yes I have visited an endo but still need answers.
I am hoping to get advice from someone who has been in my shoes.
Thanks for answering!

I was a caregiver for my wife due to cortisol issues (ectopic Cushing's syndrome) so I recommend you continue seeing an endocrinologist. Elevated cortisol is a symptom of several causes.

That's my best advice.

Good luck.
