    Yes, I had it high twice in the past. And like yourself Googled it and worried. But in another test it showed normally. So hopefully it will be the same with you. I think stress can effect it too.

      I know the nurse told me that .  She said stress can cause it. On the internet I read like benign tumor on the pituitary gland when there is high levels.
