Your blood pressure or blood sugar stays high—but why?

The Self-Assessment can help connect the dots

Answer the questions to identify possible signs and symptoms of excess cortisol. Use your results to help start a conversation with your healthcare professional about whether a dexamethasone suppression test (DST) might be right for you. A DST is 1 of 3 tests available to measure cortisol levels and is the most sensitive testing option.

You can also download the assessment to complete and bring to your next appointment.

If you are currently taking steroids for a medical condition, please contact your healthcare professional to discuss whether a DST is right for you.
