Hello Kelly, I have the same symptoms as Sierra. I am wondering which Mayo you went to to get help. I have the same genetic issue regarding processing toxins based on genetic testing done by my naturopath. I have very high am cortisol etc. and am having the same adrenaline rushes at night and in the morning that Sierra has. I am wondering which Mayo clinic you went to? If I could get some help to know which clinic and what department to make an appointment with it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hello @asthena94 Can you go into more detail about your cortisol? I also have this issue of nighttime adrenaline surges, and I also have high cortisol.

My cortisol readings were out of the normal range for 8am, noon and evening readings. Night time readings were in the 'normal' range, but at the very peak (readings are supposed to be 0.4-1.0 ng/ml. Mine were 0.9ng/ml before bed).

But I know my noon readings were very high. Normal readings are 1.2-3.0 ng/ml, mine were almost 6 at noon.

I'm wondering if my adrenaline surges are due to my cortisol being out of whack.
