A member asked:
Is your adrenaline just short or can it last a long time. for example when you get off of work and it tales a few hrs to wind down is it that or stres?

More than adrenaline: The bodies response to stress is complex and involves much more than the release of adrenaline (aka epinephrine). Adrenaline is released from the adrenal glands in response to severe pain or fear, causing an abrupt rise in blood pressure and heart rate. It lasts only a few minutes. Chronic stress can do much more... like increase cortisol, and cause psychosomatic symptoms.
