Cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands and plays an important role in stress response, energy regulation and overall wellbeing.
Our quick and convenient test is carried out in the pharmacy using a finger-prick blood sample, with results available in-house while you wait.
At Barlborough Pharmacy, we offer private cortisol testing for patients in Barlborough and surrounding areas including Clowne, Bolsover, Chesterfield, Worksop and Eckington.
Abnormal cortisol levels may be associated with symptoms such as fatigue, low mood, poor sleep, anxiety, weight changes or difficulty coping with stress.
Testing can help identify whether your cortisol levels are within a healthy range and whether further investigation may be needed.
It can be particularly useful for people experiencing ongoing stress-related symptoms or unexplained fatigue.
The test is a simple finger-prick blood sample taken in the pharmacy.
The sample is analysed in-house using our testing equipment, with results available during your appointment.
Once your results are ready, our pharmacy team will explain them clearly and advise on any next steps if required.
