No: The "rush" or sudden release of adrenaline is limited unless there is an adrenaline producing tumor which may be diagnosed as hypertension.

A member asked:

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.

I have anxiety. Sometimes I get just palpitations & then I get them with adrenaline rush to my head. Had tons of tests & they only caught the regular palps as benign PVC's. Heart structure is normal.Could the palps with adrenaline be something else?
