Hello,
There are some pathologies that cause high cortisol level. Adrenal gland tumors or hyperplasia and pituitary tumors are the most common.
You treating physician will suggest you a dexametasone suppression test and some radiological exams. After them he will be able to make the right diagnosis.
Some times obesity is the cause of high cortisol level.
