sorry for the delay, kind of lost track of this question.
the answer mentioned is Increased cortisol , and Increased TSH
there is no explanation given,
and i am sure about the increased cortisol part, but was not sure if TSH would also be elevated in stress.
if anybody can enlighten me as to the role of TSH in stress , it will be great

i think this might help u
if the adrenals are hyperactive because the patient is living a high-stress life, then the amount of thyroid hormone produced is decreased, and the patient may well have signs of functional hypothyroidism – low energy, easy fatigue – together with signs of increased catecholamines – anxiety, irritability, insomnia. Under conditions of high cortisol levels, thyroid hormone production is often shifted towards the inactive reverseT3 side, rather than the active T3 side, thus decreasing the amount of thyroid hormone available
this might increase TSH level
