Some doctors do a 24-hr. urine cortisol test, some do the cortrisyn stimulation test (where they draw blood, give you the hormone shot, then draw blood 30 minutes later.) I don't know in which circumstances, which test is more useful, but Pfinstegg could probably tell you?
I wouldn't think you would need to block cortisol if it's normal. That could cause harm in different ways, I think (not enough is bad, as is too much cortisol.)
Hope this helps. Good luck.
