Yes i can.. I can also control my BP/HR... I am very senstive to changes in my body, I am extremely in tune with my body and its functions and have a very sensitive autonomic nervous system function as well.

I also agree with this statement:
A lot of feelings that result in physiological symptoms are a choice whether we realize it or not.

I really don't think bringing on an adrenal rush is healthy. It's a defensive mechanism to protect our bodies. If you allow yourself to force this issues with no real reason to have them - there could be damage done.

I am not sure what this has to do with thyroid too?

I know exactly what the OP is about. I've been able to to this since a very young age as well. Though I suspect it is the Pineal gland that gets activated. Here's a self-check for the "rush" described: Stand in front of the mirror in a well environment and 'activate' the rush mechanism. Ideally, a tingly sensation in the spine would be accompanied by a slight feeling of headiness and increased heart rate. Sweating may also occur, as in my case. Then, when you are still in the rush, examine your pupils - they WILL be dilated.

Statistically, I believe only around 1-2% of the population can bring about this strange phenomena at will.

Any other information would be immensely helpful.

I think this posting is absolutely dangerous to some people to try.
Someone like myself who 'tries this' will end up with a heart attack.

What is the reason for wanting an adrenalin rush????

And anyone who does try it......to just get a 'buzz' out of it are putting their health at risk.
The glands can damage and sometimes be permanantly damaged.

I see no point whatsover in this post.
Sorry to be blunt...but I say it as I see it.

I first realized I could do this when meditating one day. It feels like electricity running through my veins and my Heartrate and Bp soar. It's like a switch in my brain I just turn on and off at will. I think that it has to do with the pineal gland in the brain

Like some people here I can too control the adrenaline rush.
I first discovered this 6-7 years ago,but I didn't know what it was.
It feel like electricity is running trough my body,I become hyperactive,everything speeds up,have more force,and I can push my limits farther.It's nice to know that I can do this,and it feels good,but I think it's hurting my body.3 years ago I started doing this alot and after a few months I did appendicitis.Don't know is a coincidence but there was no reason for this to happen,suspect that adrenaline rush was the reason.

Right now I went to a mirror and did a adrenaline rush and my pupils have increased.Very creepy.

yes they dialate, though not so much as for the avide observer to notice (aka your friends wont care lol...(maybe i need new friends lol )  ), have been able to do this since i was about 5 or 6. hasnt harmed me so far. I am an avid gym goer, and when i lift i can manipulate it to make the weight..... lift (when i remember to try it). kinda a hard thing to explain to your lifting buddy lol. thought i was the only one until i looked it up.
         Though i use it occasionally...I believe, any added stress to the heart can cause damage, or wear, and tear. The way i look at it, your heart has a certain mileage on it (much like a car). Some can go for miles with abuse, and others only for a short distance with care..... So if you can do this as well AWESOME!! im not the only one....but use it like a drug, with moderation. We are not supermen, or mythical gods. we may be able to manipulate a certain part of our brain that causes a cool (though short lived) feeling, but our bodies are made up of the same thing as any other without the control.
             Thought i was going crazy for a while, until i was hooked up to n ekg machine, and sent them for a loop lol. Curious to see if we end up with some sort of heart arrhythmia in the end lol. I apologize for the glumness, but my glass tends to be half empty, yet with a smile at the bottom :p

i can do it also and the more i read the more uncommon i think it is but the odd thing is doctors only theorize about it. you would think that with all of us someone would be studying it but there are no official reports about it.

Wow, that's very interesting.  If you can give yourself an adrenaline rush can you calm yourself down as well?  I don't think you are harming yourself by doing this or stressing your heart.  For example, the increase in heart rate and blood pressure during orgasm followed by relaxation has actually been shown to be cardio protective in a study of middle age men.

Hi people ... I can also do it ... never thought to check my pupils though. I just tried it and yes indeed they do dilate bigger. Nothing like a great white at lunch time but still a bit bigger than before. I heard about adrenaline building up in the body and having negative effects on ones health. My friend is suffering from this due to trauma he experienced earlier in his life. He was even given a pamphlet with exercises that might help in releasing this built up adrenalin. Wondering if anybody has heard anything more about this?

Hi folks, im from the uk and i can give myself a huge adrenaline rush at will,anytime anywhere but i can switch it off or stop it vertually instantly, i can also control the level of the rush as well as my heart rate. I get a huge rush down my spine back of my legs and back of my arms plus a rush through my brain and have to arch my back to control the big rushes.For the most part i love it and find it very usefull with the sport i do. But it has got me into trouble on more than one occasion due to me going ballisitic if it use it in arguments.I am very emotional which i beleave is a part of this but i can control myself extremly well in fight or flight situations i never panic over anything.I spent a night in hospital last year hooked up to a heart machine then a heart rate monitor for 24hrs while carrying on with normal life, i bike to work and my heart rate peaked at 135, while at sleep 47 and averaged 58 while on my feet all day docs said they have no concerns with my ticker. Oh i am 30years old and been doing this most of my life.

The Power to control your Sympathetic Response- voluntarily- is very real

I feel very bad for the people who are trying to communicate an utterly super strange ability that happens in their body/mind. However, it is like describing light to a blind person- they really don't get it.
For the guy who "flexes" to make this phenomena happen, stop describing as flexing- they don't get it. They think you are really flexing something. Like a poet or mystic trying to describe the ineffable, language fails and your effort lessens your cry for help. You see, there is a parasympathetic response triggered by "flexing" pelvic floor muscles, thus lowering heart rate, etc. So, when you use such a word, you inadvertently suggest this phenomena. Sorry, I too describe this ability as "flexing," except everyone takes me very seriously.
I have been practicing western medicine for 30 years and for a change also just completed my masters in Oriental Medicine (2014). [We] have for years used different equipment to play with [I]my [/I]"ability" while in the ER/OR/Office while no patients:
PulseOX, EEG, EKG, spirometry.The fact is, it is an instantaneous- literally as fast as thought phenomena/ability that can send my HR up to 200bpm is seconds, all while maintaining a NSR-normal sinus rhythm (PQRST remains unremarkable, otherwise); it is simple tachycardia. The pulse ox remains saturated and whereas the BP may raise to over 160/96 within seconds, the arterial pressure at rest does not substantially rise.
I have always asserted (the reason is lost with age) that I "squeeze" my adrenal glands. It does not matter that western medicine says that this is not possible. What matters is the similar reports from disparate people all around the world. We are all describing something similar. Variously, some report that they are squeezing something in their head. Perhaps this is due to the incredible electric-like sensation tingling around the neck, head, and shoulders, pupil changes.
My breathing does not change and while my tidal volume remains the same we once calculated that my stroke volume for cardiac output only begins to become effected at x ___bpm after a few minutes. Those of us who do this cannot really do this for minutes at a time; we exhaust then stop.
I often would engage in conversation, laugh, or drink water just to demonstrate to others that this is not contemplative, or bearing down on pelvis, contra stimulation of parasympathetic response, etc. In every single case I have convinced my peers, professors, cardiologists, and others that this was real. In every case they stood corrected, surprised, but did not understand.
So reserve some mystery for the unknown; these posters here are not unbalanced. We can tell, as a bona fides, others who have this versus others who are imagining it. It requires no thought, emotion, respiration, or other manipulation and it does not respond to time; its instantaneous. Oh, and when done, there will be an appreciable difference in armpit smell. This may be due to the secretion of porcine/like glands related to... fight or flight- sympathetic response!

I hope my comments serve some benefit for anyone searching to discover what is happening to them. I began searching for explanation before internet age and the medical books, as the internet now, had nothing conclusive. And yet... each one of us who does this is just 100% positive that this ability IS deeply related to something else; isn't that right?  Here is a throw away email address I offer if anyone can help me still to understand this ability. I will keep email for 24 months from Apr 14. priapus4u at hotmail. com

Do you know how to explain how to do it, if so please do as any information is greatly appreciated.
This is a very old thread and the poster you are addressing is no longer active on the forum; it's unlikely you'll get a response to your question.

I have only recently found out that I can actually control this "adrenaline rush" and was unaware of it. But I have also learned I can slow my heart down, almost to the point where it has completely stopped. I only even tried to slow it down because for some reason my adrenaline spiked over the top for no clear cause. That was the first time I experienced it and had no idea what was happening to my body. My heart was beating extremely fast, i felt as if it was gonna burst. my girlfriend was with me at the time and she put her hand on my chest and could feel it. I aslo was shivering uncontrollably, I thought if I let it continue any longer something bad was going to happen, so I had my girlfriend turn off the lights and I got in bed and slowed my breathing down slow shallow breaths, after a few minutes the shivering stopped and my heart slowed. So my heart was beating around normal rate so I went to tell me gf that I thought I was better but as soon as turned my head and opened my mouth, simultaneously breaking concentration on my breathing,  my body started shivering again and my heart sped up again. I soon noticed I had to focus ALL of my concentration to stop it. I slowed my heart to the point where it could no longer be detected by medical means for maybe 3-5min until I was at the point where I just fell asleep.  After falling unconscious my heart returned to normal. Since this incident I have discovered with some concentration I could start to increase my adrenaline but have stopped right after.  But have not tried or had to slow my heart down since.

I am SO glad I am not alone!  I've been inducing my adrenaline since a year or two after puberty, I'm 34 now and have complete control of it after 20 yrs of experimenting and practicing.  When it happens...it's almost like I feel like I'm turning into the Hulk, it makes your body pulsate with power, energy and a next level strength, sometimes to the point of overwhelming.  I'm very grateful for my gift, just wish it had more daily applications. I think a group of us that can control our adrenaline should get together and experiment with this power. Perhaps there is a bigger picture....

I just realized that I've been doing this. I didn't know what I was doing before. It's kinda weird. I'd like to know weather or not it can hurt us too. I've been doing this for around 8 months, just now came up with an explanation. Did anyone else have trouble controling it at first?
