Re: Secreting constant adrenalin

It is not that anxiety attacks cause hypoglycemia, but rather the other way around. The body start to overproduce adrenaline when the brain is starved of glucose due to a metabolic disorder. This causes irrational anxiety attacks. The brain is starved of glucose when the person has hypoglycemia. Adrenaline functions to increase blood Sugar levels from glycogen sources in the body, mainly muscles and the liver.

When a person has insulin resistance, in the pre-diabetic stage, the brain is fed with unstable Sugar levels causing it to trigger the release of excess adrenaline from adrenal glands.
