Avatar m tn Ageing itself can affect your endocrine system. Menopause, is another thing. These then can affect your ability to fight off infections so you can get more infections in general. Also, stress affects hormones. This can be physical stress just as injury or mental stress. It changes your norepinephrine and epinephrine. If these are out of balance you can get anxiety and ill.

787406 tn?1339203183 verified) I had the hyperadrenergic form. Stress, if the doctor means anxiety stress, would surely effect your EPINEPHRINE level- how is that one? With the extremely high levels of norepinephrine (especially if it is twice or more the normal level), please ask your doctor to order what is considered to be the most sensitive test for detecting pheochromocytoma, the fasting blood test called plasma free metanephrines.

With Over Masturbation, there is actually a big change in the body chemistry. If this continues for a long period of time, physiological changes occur. If you are having regular sexual intercourse, no masturbation is necessary.
Avatar m tn Antibodies are primarily produced against proteins, and even if cow adrenal glands had the same proteins as human adrenal glands, which is unlikely, proteins are not absorbed whole into the bloodstream. It may be that, on an unconscious level, those who recommend glandular extracts are being influenced by the ancient notion of "sympathetic magic," the idea that eating a lion's heart, for example, will create courage.
Avatar f tn I had to get stitches last night, and was given 5-6 shots of epinephrine and lidocane. I told the intake nurse I was taking synthroid (which I presume implies thyroid problems). I felt a little "unusual" afterward (pounding heart, feeling calm and detached..), and was googling the side effects of the shot.. an article said this: "Additionally, epinephrine and lidocaine usually aren’t used in patients with thyroid disease, or disease of the kidneys or liver.
Avatar n tn I had a 2nd trimester miscarriage the day that I had a mole removed at my dermatologist. They used Epinephrine and Xylocaine and when we received the autopsy report it revealed that my baby was perfectly normal and healthy without chromosonal issues prior to him dieing in my womb that day.

Avatar m tn Hi, It is a serotonin and nor epinephrine reuptake inhibitor. The name of the neurotransmitter is nor epinephrine it is different from epinephrine. Most of the side effects occur during the period when one is taking the medication. But the important thing to remember is to follow the doctors instructions carefully. To reduce the incidence of side effects it is always started with a low dose and then it is gradually increased.

Avatar f tn In one situation, the patient simply does not make enough watery tears, and for this, Restasis is a help; in the other, the little oil glands at the base of the eyelids start producing oil that is thick and does not spread well, and the result is that tears evaporate too quickly. Refresh used to make a product called Endura that had a special kind of castor oil in it, but perhaps for commercial reasons, they pulled it off the market some years ago.
Avatar f tn For the past 5 months, my lymph glands have been swollen. Primarily on the left side of my neck, directly beside my pulse. I have had a series of blood tests over the course of this year checking liver, gallbladder, kidneys and a complete blood count. All test results are immaculate. Of course aside from my B12 deficiency, which seems to be at bay now. But it's like I went from being the healthiest person alive to being extremely unhealthy in 0.5 seconds.

1222635 tn?1366396286 I think it will be fine for you to wait until the first of the month .... but I do think you should make an appointment for a clinical examination for some explanation of what is producing the symptoms you describe. To address your last statement; why would you "pop" the montgomeries glands ?? These glands are a normal feature of the breast and require nothing like what you describe. Take care and make that appointment.
1255429 tn?1270454047 i googled it and this is what i found sorry its a pregnant defanition hmm its that only ones i can seem to find xx Soon after a woman finds out that she is pregnant, she will begin to notice some dramatic changes in her breasts.

During pregnancy these glands enlarge and they remain enlarged while breastfeeding.
Avatar n tn Normally the sweat is odorless but due to the action of Bacteria it produces an unpleasant smell. There are two types of sweat glands. Eccrine sweat glands which are present all over the body to regulate the body temperature and Apocrine sweat glands present in the armpits, genital region and breast and secrete certain chemicals called Pheromones. The secretions of Apocrine glands has more protein which is easily broken down by bacteria producing bad odour.
4703993 tn?1379768388 I found this tidbit in a journal abstract that you may want to show your doc: "Patients with syncope while supine also had sympathoadrenal imbalance before loss of consciousness. Sympathoadrenal imbalance precedes tilt-evoked and spontaneous neurocardiogenic syncope and correlates with concurrent skeletal muscle vasodilation. Sympathoadrenal imbalance may contribute to hemodynamic derangements precipitating neurocardiogenic syncope." http://www.ajconline.
Avatar f tn It's the epinephrine in the anesthetic that causes the racing heart, etc. Next time you're at the dentist and you need/want an anesthetic ask for one WITHOUT epinephrine. The medication generally takes a little longer to "kick in" and wears off faster, but your dentist will work with you for maximum comfort.
Avatar f tn Steroids are naturally produced in your body in small amounts. Taking these high amounts of steroids causes your adrenal glands to stop producing so much of the steroids themselves, giving them a little break. You wean off of the drugs slowly to force your adrenal glands to start producing the natural steroids again. If you mess with the dosages too much, your adrenal glands may just get too confused to even bother creating natural steroids again.
