Brief Answer:
this is a normal result

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

A cortisol of 9.7 is normal.

The normal range for an adult is approximately 7 to 28 in the morning and 2 to 18 in the afternoon.
These would vary slightly from one lab to the next but would stay in this same general region.

You do not need to be concerned at this stage

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
