Cortisol is a stress hormone: It is produced in the adrenal cortex and its main role is to provide the body with energy when it is stressed. Cortisol raises blood sugar levels and raises blood pressure. This is to ensure that the stressor can be combated quickly and effectively: for a short time, cortisol makes the body more efficient.
When there is too much stress, cortisol levels are often thrown off balance. A permanent increase can harm the body and trigger various symptoms and diseases. You can find out here which signs indicate an elevated cortisol level.
