There are certain diseases which cause your body to overproduce adrenaline. The main symptom of excess adrenaline is high blood pressure. Long term high blood pressure can cause Heart disease and stroke. Pheochromocytoma, which is a tumor of the adrenal gland, causes sporadic bursts of adrenaline. These bursts of adrenaline are often mistaken for panic attacks. They can cause episodes of extremely high blood pressure (250/120 or higher) which can be fatal.

∙ 13y agoEpinephrine is adrenaline. So low epinephrine levels means you would be relaxed. Very low levels would cause adrenal crisis - an acute life-threatening state of adrenocortical insufficiency - immediate therapy would be needed. This is also known as Addison's Disease. You would go into shock or a coma with very low blood pressure.

What happens when epinephrine is used?
Epinephrine, if take orally, can raise your heart rate to dangerous levels. And it is not effective at handling allergic reactions.
What hormone causes vasodilation of the blood vessels?
Epinephrine can cause vasodilation provided the level is low enough. If beta-2 recptors are activated (without the level of epinephrine being high enough to involve the significant numbers of alpha receptors), then the effect of epinephrine on the vascular smooth muscle be relaxation, thus, dilation. However, higher levels of epinephrine will activate alpha receptors which will cause vasoconstriction.
What is a response of the body to change in blood glucose?
A) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of glucagon B) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of glycogen C) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of epinephrine D) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of insulin
