What Causes Low Sodium, Cortisol, Bicarbonate Levels And Hormonal Imbalance?
Hi There,
My morning, fasting test results show the following:
Normal Ferritin & Iron but low TIBC and elevated Saturation
Low Cortisol, Low Sodium, Low Bicarb
Low Alkaline Phosataphase
My hormones are are all over the place as well.
My initial research suggests:
Possible Addison's (cortisol, sodium, Bicarb)
Possible Copper Overload (Iron problems, Alkaline Phosataphase)
Possible Pituitary or Hypothalamus Function Problems.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks
Tanya

Hello,
Thank you for asking on HCM!
Low cortisol level is a very important test and needs further evaluation.
It may be due to adrenal gland insufficiency (Addison disease) or due to Pituitary insufficiency.
You should immediately see a physician and start treatment as he will suggest.
