A member asked:

Why does my body freeze up whenever i get an adrenaline rush?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Freeze up: I may be wrong but I suspect this is related to major concerns you don't wan't to bring to the front. Please consider a consult with a psychologist - they are usually very helpful.

When I was being chased by some dangerous man I didn't get an adrenaline rush despite knowing I might die. In fact, I felt numb and fainty and the only reason I kept running was my dog yanking me back into reality. Is there something wrong with me?

A member asked:

Every time I get an adrenaline rush I start to gag? I have acute gastritis. Is that the reason why? If I exercise I gag, if I play an intense video game I gag, literally anything I do that makes me have a rush I gag.
