But as a chronic stress / AF researcher / recoverer, both muscle loss and frequent urination can be caused by chronic stress.

 

High Cortisol -->  Collagen and protein breakdown --- > Muscle loss , eye floaters.   (do you have eye floaters too? that could be a hint that it is cortisol related.)

 

High Cortisol also reduces ADH (anti diuretic hormone).  If it reduces ADH.....it increases urine flow.

 

 

Increased Epinephrine also increases urine flow.

" Infusion of epinephrine also produced a transient increase in urine flow "

 

So....stress can lead to both muscle loss and increased urination.    Fluids went right through me for years
