Default Ok, I found the difference

andrenaline is produced by the medulla and cortisol is produced by the cortex. Two separate and distinct chemicals.

So, now I am wondering if I put aside the adrenal support regimen too soon. Way too soon.

Because two of my major symptoms are the fluid retention and high BP. Or at least that is what got me to the doctor this time.

So get this: adrenaline is reponsibilite for controlling the blood pressure and cortisol is responsible for fluid retention.

Sounds a little like tired adrenals doesn't it.

But I am still questioning if the beta blockers helps with suppressing the adrenaline, will it also help suppress the cortisol.

I don't believe he tested for that even though I said something about tired adrenals. I think the only two ways to test it are a saliva test and a 24-hour urine test. Is that right?
