Sympathoadrenal Activation
Type: Symptom
Definition
The body's sudden release of adrenaline in response to a physiological crisis.
Clinical Details
When blood sugar drops to critically low levels, the brain detects a life-threatening emergency and triggers a massive release of adrenaline to force the liver to release glucose. This intense adrenaline surge causes severe tremors, sudden heavy sweating, intense anxiety, and a rapid, pounding heartbeat.
