Adrenaline Note: Adrenaline is also called epinephrine.
What is Arenaline? "Epinephrine (also adrenaline, epi in medical jargon) is a hormone and acts as a neurotransmitter... Epinephrine plays a central role in the stress reaction--the physiological response to conditions that threaten the physical integrity of the body. It is secreted by the adrenal medulla."
Effects "When released into the bloodstream, epinephrine acts to · increase heart rate and blood pressure, · dilate the pupils, · elevate the blood sugar level (by increased hydrolysis of glycogen to glucose), and · redistribute blood flow away from the skin and inner organs."
Medical Applications Description "Epinephrine is used as a drug in order to · stimulate cardiac action in cardiac arrest, · as a vasoconstrictor in anaphylactic shock and sepsis, and · as a bronchodilator in acute bronchial asthma. Allergy patients undergoing immunotherapy can get an epinephrine rinse before their allergan extract is administered. Adverse reactions include palpitations, tachycardia, anxiety, headache, tremor, hypertension, and acute pulmonary oedema."
Allergies "Because you can't be 100% certain you won't unwittingly eat something you're allergic to, or be stung by a bee, your doctor may prescribe an EpiPen to carry with you. If you have a reaction, this easily administered shot of epinephrine (a.k.a. adrenaline) will expand your airways, letting you breathe until medical help arrives. You may also consider wearing a MedicAlert bracelet to inform others of your allergy if you're unable to communicate during an allergic reaction." WebMD.com: Allergies: Treatment
Adrenaline Addiction "Adrenaline addiction is very common. Type-A personalities become addicted to their excessive activity by the stimulation and arousal of adrenaline. People who are constantly angry, fearful, guilty, or worrisome arouse their adrenaline hormone even though they may sit around doing nothing else. People who are excessive in their participation in jogging, exercise, bodybuilding, aerobics, sports, skiing, mountain climbing, car racing or flying…airplanes become addicted because of the adrenaline rush from their activity. They describe the 'rush' they get from their activity and feel depressed when they can't participate for some unexpected reason."
