I think my adrenals must be really out of whack.  Instead of cortisol it’s sending me adrenaline.  Anyone else have this ?  What do I do ?

    Do you take hydrocortisone or any other steroid for the adrenal glands? Are you taking medication for hypothyroidism?

    I used to get horrendous random surges of adrenaline throughout the day.  So bad I thought I was having a heart attack.  Turned it to be anxiety.  I was prescribed beta blockers which I was reluctant to take at first, but I just take 10mg once a day and it’s enough to keep them away.  

    I haven’t had one since.

    Sounds familiar. I’m too wide awake at that time. Do you take any meds to try and stay sleep?
