Prescriptions are very cheap in the England, but people still complain about paying (mainly because they don't know how much people have to pay elsewhere)! We have plenty of other expensive things to balance it out though :/

If high cortisol is suspected, you should always have a careful physical examination at the hospital or clinic. Routine blood tests would be taken (urea & electrolytes, full blood count, fasting glucose etc). Then, you would have one or two of the tests listed below as a starting point:
