When adrenaline is produced?
Adrenaline is a stress hormone produced by the adrenal glands.
When facing a perceived stressor or threat, this hormone stimulates the nervous system.
Adrenaline is a kind of fight and run is an integral part of the reaction (i.e. the situation when you try to avoid danger).
Adrenaline is rapidly pumped into the circulatory system, so different organs can easily receive the necessary impulses.
It is noteworthy that adrenaline significantly reduces the sensation of pain - even during a strong trauma against the background of this hormone, a person may not feel anything.
Adrenaline is automatically generated during strong emotions, crisis situations, excitement or fear.
When adrenaline is released, you may experience:
- Elevated blood pressure
- Increased heart rate
- Heightened senses
- Decreased sensitivity to pain
- Enlarged pupils
- Shaky limbs
- Excessive sweating
An overdose of adrenaline is dangerous, especially if the person has chronic stress.
