Patient's Query
My new job has been causing me to have frequent adrenaline rushes all day for the past three months. I am young and healthy.
Could this be a worry for causing heart disease, as I have heard it can in the long term?
Please help.
Thanks.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern and will definitely help you with it.
The human body has a very intricate way of dealing with stress conditions. It is not only adrenaline that gets released, but also cortisol. Cortisol is the actual stress hormone, not adrenaline. If you could describe to me the conditions in which you think you are having an adrenaline rush, then I will be able to explain better to you as to what is happening in those conditions biochemically inside the human body.
Adrenaline is released as and when required and is also degraded when not necessary. So even if we consider for once that adrenaline is actually getting released multiple times in someone's body, it will not be continuously present, and they get degraded and are not required and therefore will not have any permanent effects on the heart. Let me know if I can help you out with any queries
Do follow up whenever needed.
Thank you.
