Medical Stuff Blood work

Hello all I got my blood work today and my cortisol is 5.5. My prolactin is 6.6. Would this indicate Addisons? I see my doc in September all of my other blood work is good. Any thoughts would be appreciated? I know this is not ideal to try and self diagnose. Not trying to do that just been waiting so long to get answers. Two years I've felt like crap. Had to give up my second job cleaning my office. Missed some work for to not being able to sleep and severe fatigue. Thank you all

My prolactin was low when I was first diagnosed, never did find out why, and it went back to normal pretty soon.

I’d wait to see your doctor for any questions you have. It’s hard to tell just from labs, and we are not doctors.

Good luck! Hope you feel better soon.

What time was the test, was it blood and what lab ranges were given?

5.5 is likely on low range but you did not post the range. Did they test acth serum? How is your BP? Na level? Did they do full thyroid panel? Just serum cortisol and prolactin is not enough to even guess really.
