Adrenaline rush

How do you feel;
Waking up late to go to work, having a boss who is a big fan of punctuality, need to be at certain check points at the right time so that you wouldn't be caught up in the traffic jammed?
Finding out something that you don't like, holding up your anger and sarcasm words, having uneasy feelings, stress and anxiety?
Having to do so much thing at a time, having lots of stuff in your mind, need to get everything done on time, pushing yourself to the limit?


How does it feel?
Indescribable isn't it?


Adrenaline rush?
Occur when the epinephrine hormone, is released in response to situations that exciting, dangerous or threatening.


Function?
It helps a person to cope with stressful or emergency situations.
A boost of glucose and oxygen are sent to the brain and muscles while other bodily functions are suppressed.

Significance?
It can be important in a "fight or flight" situation as the effects that the hormone has on the body temporarily improve physical performance.

Effects?
Epinephrine has many effects on the body including increased oxygen and glucose to the brain and muscles, dilated pupils, increased heart rate and the elevation of blood sugar levels.

Warning?
There are some people who have become addicted to having an adrenaline rush.
If the hormone is released often enough, the body begins to memorize the associated feelings which can ultimately lead to a serious addiction which can be just as difficult to quit as any other addictive drug.

This is funny?
Certain people have experienced "super" strength during an adrenaline rush in emergency situations and have been able to lift cars, helicopters and other heavy objects that humans cannot lift under normal circumstances.
