Hello I have had blood tests done as part of routine exam and results show my Cortisol 20, Aldosterone 2.5. i am worried that this may be a sign of some problem. I read on some web sites that this can be serious. Adrenal cancer, Cushing’s syndrome. Should I be worried of these results?

Neither the Cortisol or Aldosterone levels are alarming.
Both levels are almost within normal range and I do not see any reason to worry.
Adrenal system seems to be functioning properly.
Most of the online interpretations can be confusing.
I suggest you neglect them.
