10 Low Cortisol Symptoms
Symptom #10: Gastrointestinal Issues
Some of the gastrointestinal issues that may occur among individuals with low cortisol include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Nausea is an unpleasant sensation where there is an urge to vomit. Although it may not be painful, it can be debilitating as it places discomfort on the upper abdomen, chest, and throat. Vomiting occurs when there is involuntary expulsion of stomach contents through the mouth and nose. Diarrhea can be defined as having three or more episodes of loose bowel movements.
Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are common gastrointestinal symptoms that can be seen in viral infections and food poisoning. All three are common and nonspecific symptoms that may occur in individuals with low cortisol levels.
