Control Your Cortisol Level and Turn Down Your Stress

Share

Cushing syndrome is a condition where the cortisol level of your body is too high. Ignoring or prolonging this kind of health condition can bring more negative effects in your health.

Below is an excerpt of an article that tackles the symptoms of high cortisol levels:

What are the symptoms of high cortisol levels (Cushing’s syndrome)?

Mood swings – such as being more irritable, depressed, or anxious than usual

It’s normal to feel moody or down now and again, but if you feel like you are constantly down in the dumps, and/or anxious, then you could be experiencing the consequences of cortisol’s long-term effects on serotonin and dopamine production.

Digestive problems

Rather annoyingly, high levels of cortisol, causes energy to be taken away from the gastrointestinal tract, lowers the production of enzymes needed to digest food, and reduces the absorption of minerals and nutrients.

Heart disease and High Blood Pressure

As we have learned, high levels of cortisol, can be caused by a highly stressful lifestyle. Too much stress can raise blood pressure, which can in turn make you at a higher risk of heart disease.

Sleep problems

Cortisol production is naturally high in the early morning to help you wake up bright eyed and bushy tailed. However, people who chronically stress their adrenal glands to overproduce cortisol alter their cortisol concentrations so that cortisol is low in the morning when they wake up instead of high.

 

Symptoms mentioned above are just some of the things you need not to ignore. If you experience one or many of them, it is better to see your doctor.
