Possible adrenal problem - shakings, adrenaline rush, palpitations

Hi guys, wondered if any of you know what it could be. Years ago I made a silly things by drinking loads of coffee and apple juice and exercising straight after. I started shaking, I had palpitations, and my health deteriorated after that somewhat. I wasn't able to drink any caffeine or eat sugar, as I would feel really faint and weird and get palpitations. Now I often feel out of breath, my heart is pounding so hard that it often prevents me from sleeping, I feel uncontrollable shaking and often feel something that reminds of adrenaline rush.

I don't have diabetes or heart problems (checked with a doctor). Could this be adrenaline/cortisol level problem?

Thank you!

    I have adrenal gland problems and thyroid problems.  Or perhaps I should say, I had.  Because with the help of medication I'm doing reasonably well. 

    The shaking could be caused by a hyper thyroid.  Same with the sleeping problem.  The out of breath reminds me of my adrenal gland issues. 

    ?I can not drink anything caffeine, or eat anything sugary.  One small piece of chocolate will make my head spin. 

    ?So yes, it might be both - thyroid needs to be in balance with the adrenals. I would suggest you see a good doctor.

      Hi there, thank you very much for your reply! Glad to see that my conjectures might be correct, as I the doctors were being very unhelpful and could never pinpoint what was wrong with me. Which doctor do you need to see, endocrinologist?

      For the thyroid I started with my MD.  Then was referred to ... too long ago.  For the adrenals I went to a nature path.
