Re: Adrenaline Intolerance.

[Guest guest]

Hi Annie,

Yes I have had this at the dentist and felt really unwell and in particular

exhausted - I later found out I had a low thyroid condition and low adrenal

reserve so would say you have the same issues.

Hope this helps

Kind regards

Hi Annie I forgot to mention that at the dentist I can still have an injection

but they don't give me an adrenalin based one - you must insist that they know

you have a problem with it.

best wishes

Hi Annie - me again - if you think about it - when adrenaline is triggered

whether by the body or by a drug used as an anesthetic it would require the

adrenal gland to play a part in the process and I think you can definitely say

you have an issue.

Kind regards

Hello

Annie and welcome to our forum and I hope you get answers to all of your

questions and the support you need.

The

first thing I would advise you to do is to get the 24 hour salivary adrenal

profile done. You can get this test done privately through Genova Diagnostics www.gdx.uk.net . This checks your cortisol and

DHEA at four specific times during the day. Depending upon the results, we can

take it from there. Take a look at our website www.tpa-uk.org.uk and click on

Hypothyroidism and then 'Associated Conditions' and read everything there and

see if any of these relate to you.

Ask

your GP to do a full thyroid function test to include TSH, Free T4, Free T3 and

a test to check to see if you have antibodies to your thyroid. Do you have

members of your family who have thyroid or autoimmune problems. Also, ask your

GP to check your ferritin level (stored iron), B12, Vitamin D, magnesium, copper

and zinc.

Do

you have any of the symptoms and signs of hypothyroidism?

When

you get your blood results, post them here on the forum together with the

reference range.

Did

they test your adrenals when you were in hospital?

Luv -

Sheila

I suppose I just wondered if there is a link to hypothyroidism, adrenal

fatigue, I would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

Thank You

Annie

Hi,

I;m not sure if I am right in thinking this, but I thought one of the effects of

cortisol is to " balance " adrenaline. I thought this was the reason why people

with adrenal fatigue get shakey and sick to stress - because they cannot produce

cortisol quickly enough to counteract the effects of adrenaline?

> Hi. I am a new member to the forum and have been busy the past few days

finding my way about the website and reading the information contained. I am

not sure if it is linked to my thyroid disorder, but 7 months ago I was in

hospital for a minor operation, being undertaken with a local anesthetic.

Seconds after I was injected I became very unwell, my mouth went dry, I felt

dizzy, sick and my heart was pounding and racing, I also felt that something

terrible was going to happen.. The operation did not take place and I ended up

on a Drip, heart monitor and oxygen for a few hours to I stabilised. It was a

terrifying experience.

used with local anesthetics. She asked if I had every experienced this before.

In my previous visit to the dentist I had felt very unwell after a local

anesthetic but not like this time. The doctor explained that if you have an

intolerance to Adrenaline each time it is used, the sypmtoms will be more

severe. My doctor has told me that in the future if I have to have a local

anesthetic, to ensure that they are aware not to use Adrenaline.
