Lower adrenaline | Adrenalin

Lower adrenaline

Since adrenaline is one of the most effective factors in stress reactions, excessive release can have considerable consequences. People who have permanently excessive adrenaline levels suffer all the effects of the hormone as a permanent condition. Anxiety, a constant feeling of stress, high blood pressure, increased glucose levels and long-term cardiovascular problems are among the risks associated with increased adrenaline.

The best way to consciously lower the adrenaline level is to avoid situations that lead to the release of the hormone. Stress situations at work or in everyday life have a particularly strong long-term effect on the adrenaline level. If one succeeds in avoiding or reducing stress situations, one quickly notices the physical decrease of stress.

Targeted breathing exercises also help to reduce stress in stressful situations. External influences, such as noise, fast movements, frequent touching to switch off, closing the eyes and taking deep breaths several times, causes a reduction of the hormone level for the moment. In combination with relaxation exercises, breathing exercises can also be used as a long-term therapy to reduce stress levels. Endurance sports, if performed in a pleasant way, can also bring physical peace. In the long term, however, it is the most effective way to consciously avoid daily stress at work, in everyday life and in the family.

Pen

An adrenaline pen is a ready-to-use syringe for home use on yourself. They are mainly used in emergencies for allergy sufferers who are at risk of anaphylactic allergic reactions. It is used, for example, immediately after insect bites or other triggers of the allergy and is the first choice for self-administration for hypersensitivity reactions.

The Adrenalin Pen is used on the outer thigh and the drug is injected into the muscle. Pens are available with different medications for the application of different diseases. For people with severe allergies, the Adrenalin Pens are recommended for emergency use at home, as an antioxidant gives them a shelf life of one to two years.

The pens contain between 150 and 300 micrograms of adrenaline. The allergy sufferer must learn from the doctor in which situations the pen must be used and how exactly it should be handled. If the effect of the adrenaline is not sufficient, another injection can be given after 5 minutes at the earliest.

Noradrenaline

Noradrenaline is a hormone that is also produced in the adrenal gland and is very similar to adrenaline. The main function of noradrenaline is in the central nervous system, where it is released as a neurotransmitter into the synaptic cleft. In the reactions it triggers, it is very similar to adrenaline.

Like adrenaline, it also functions as a hormone. It also raises blood pressure and can be used in emergency medicine, for example in anaphylactic reactions. It also functions as a stress hormone and is released into the bloodstream in these situations. Noradrenaline can be used more effectively in emergency medicine because it centralises the blood and can raise blood pressure even at lower doses without the undesirable metabolic effects of adrenaline.
