Fatigue





            Long term stress/anxiety/panic attacks can also

            exhaust your adrenal glands. Every time you

            engage your SNS, adrenaline is released from the


            adrenal glands. Think back to the bear example. If

            you are confronted with a dangerous situation, you


            want adrenaline running through your body. It may

            be the difference  between surviving and not


            surviving.



            However, you are not designed to use your adrenal


            glands continuously. If you do so because you are

            constantly under stress or anxious, the adrenals can


            become exhausted and stop working properly. In

            addition to fatigue, overtaxed adrenals can also lead


            to depression, low blood pressure, dizziness, low

            sex drive, weight gain, loss of muscle tone and


            immune dysfunction just to name a few.




            What you can do to help control stress, anxiety or

            panic attacks.
