Common Questions and Answers about Epinephrine vs adrenaline
epipen
Epinephrine (adrenaline has a plasma half life of 2-3 minutes). 4 hours have passed since you posted this. What is your heart rate presently?
Are you suffering from palpitations? If so, have you noticed any of the triggers?
My cardiologist did say that "catecholamines" cause palps. Adrenaline is one.
Look it up. Good luck.
An increase in sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes the heart rate to increase, both by the direct action of sympathetic nerve fibers on the heart and by causing the endocrine system to release hormones such as epinephrine (adrenaline), which have a similar effect. Increased sympathetic stimulation is usually due to physical or psychological stress.
The adrenaline from a local anestethic can increase blood adrenaline levels about 5-10 times, and when you add the natural effect of the fact that no one like going to the dentist, you can end up with fairly high adrenaline levels.
The numbers look dramatic, but also keep in mind that adrenaline levels are highly variable. They can increase 2-3 times just by standing up, 10-30 times with stress, 50-100 times with panic attack, and up to 1000 times with pheocromocytoma.
Hi, welcome to the forum, Epipen delivers a measured dose of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) using autoinjector technology, most frequently for the treatment of acute allergic reactions to avoid or treat the onset of anaphylactic shock. In certain cases it can be used to stop local bleeding.
Epinephrine is known to act on the uterus through beta 2 receptors and can cause relaxation of the uterus. At term, it can prevent the contraction and delay the labor.
Hi there--I'm so glad you're here. You are not an addict, but your body has been acclimated to the Primatene. Primatene is a chemical hammer! It can be deadly, too. I'm glad your loving family helped with the expense of seeing a doctor. Well, you need to make one more visit and tell that doctor what you told us. Go to him THIS WEEK. If you are having chest tightness, your asthma is still not under control.
Can anyone here tell me if ms has any effect on either of the hormones epinephrine or norepinephrine?
m wondering with my heart problem how dangerous is it to get a dose of epinephrine and how will that affect my heart? I had an epinephrine dose in the early nineties due to a breathing problem, but that was before I was diagnosed with the mvp and atrial misfire.
HBP would not be a likely cause. It's easy enough to have BP checked. When we exercise adrenaline (epinephrine) is dumped into the body's system. It is a vasodilator makes blood vessels dilate.
Its a great med for blood pressure and to relax the heart and block out the adrenaline runs.....try to remember that angina is a symtom not a disease and that your doc needs to tell you why you are getting angina...is there a blockage in one of your arteries?
Hi, welcome to the forum, as such epipen are not available yet. Epipen delivers a measured dose of epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) using autoinjector technology, most frequently for the treatment of acute allergic reactions to avoid or treat the onset of anaphylactic shock. In certain cases it can be used to stop local bleeding.
Alternatively, the same drug can be given by the local health care provider or you need to go to emergency department.
I have long believed adrenaline dysfunction plays a big role in dysautonomia. Outside of reading about adrenaline surges with hyperadrenergic POTS, the adrenaline issues are not something I've read much about in conjunction with all of this, but I do believe there is a definite component of adrenaline dysfunction involved in dysautonomia. When you used the phrase "adrenaline dumping" it was a big "yes" moment for me.
I went to my family doctor and she check my thyroid. Those results came back good. So I asked her to check my epinephrine levels because it almost seems like i have too much adrenaline. Those results cam back slightly high so she referred me to an endocrinologist. She also put me on 50mg of metoprolol (beta blocker). This medicine worked really good in beginning but several months later I am starting to have high blood pressure and high heart rate.
Adrenaline would be a logical answer and a typical reaction. It's likely that nothing is wrong with you and your having a normal reaction to the circumstances.
Heres a short definition and a link if you would like to read more about it.
Adrenaline is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands during high stress or exciting situations. This powerful hormone is part of the human body's acute stress response system, also called the "fight or flight" response.
Some people with diabetes will notice a significantly higher glucose rise directly after more strenuous activity and/or competitive sports; this is because epinephrine (adrenaline) is a hormone released during exercise, stress, excitement, or illness, and its effect is to cause the liver to release even more glucose to supply the body with the needed energy. Usually, this is a temporary effect, and later the blood glucose will go back to its original level.
I hope this makes it clearer.
Oftentimes if you think you might be experiencing problems your body will release epinephrine (adrenaline) which could be causing your symptoms. Try to do everything to relax the next time it occurs.
Once when I got tooth anesthetic, I began trembling. I don't know what it was, but Im know that I don't tolerate epinephrine or adrenaline. Since that time I always ask such medication which does not cause trembling or tachycardia.
