A member asked:

Can my adrenaline rush problems be a form of anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it can: Anxiety and its manifestation whethe cognitive, physical or behavioral involve the serotonin and the adrenergic / noradrenergic systems...So anxiety attacks are practically synonym to the famous fight or flight response that relies heavily on a surge of noradrenergic activity.

I have occasional lightheadedness, and on other occasions I feel a head-rush similar to an adrenaline rush. I also sometimes have a tingling sensation in my feet and hands. Should I be worried about brain tumors or ALS? Or is this anxiety 101?
