Cortisol causes other problems too. If you produce too much of it over a long period of time, it can lead to redistribution of fat stores so you store more fat in your waist and abdominal region. To add to the problem, cortisol opposes the action of insulin, thereby increasing insulin resistance.
Some patients have sustained high cortisol levels without the symptoms of Cushingâs syndrome or disease. These high cortisol levels may be compensating for the bodyâs resistance to cortisolâs effects. This rare syndrome of cortisol resistance is a genetic condition that causes hypertension and chronic androgen excess. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is another condition that may share some of the same symptoms as Cushingâs.
