Is There Any Relation Between Gallbladder And AM Cortisol Test ?
I ve been having issues with what seems to be my Gallbladder however none of the test have been directly pointing to it. They did a AM Cortisol test and it came back at 2.4. Could this be related to the Gallbladder from the stress of an attack?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
If you do not have any gall bladder pathology, then why are you worried about the attack. The raised cortisol levels might be indicative of the stress you are having due to the attack of some problem that you are predicting. Mind relaxation exercises will help you.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

It was my gallbladder. I had to have it removed in February. I guess the cortisol levels were unrelated? Who knows. Thanks for trying to answer.
