Waking early with feeling of adrenaline

[Guest guest]

I have been waking with what seems to be an adrenaline rush at about 5-5;30 am

..This used to happen to me a lot but in the last year or so has stopped till

recently.I have been under a lot of stress and take HC 4 times a day with the

last dose around 9 of 2.5 mcg.

Does anyone know if this is related to drop in T3 or low cortisol.

What puzzles me is that HC keeps me from having

arrhythmia and when I feel these adrenalin rushes you would think that

my heart would respond with arrhythmia but it doesn't.I'm confused.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Many on the 's website comment on this adrenaline surge in the early

morning hours, usually between 4 - 5:30 am for most people. It's usually the

patients that still have their adrenals (as opposed to having them removed) and

they can still produce adrenaline (like me).

Technically, at that point you have 'hypocortisolism', meaning you don't produce

enough cortisol, but you can produce adrenaline and nor-adrenaline.

Often, they take a small amount of the HC, 2-3 mg.with a bite of food in the

early morning, then the rest of their dose with breakfast. Or, as Val suggested,

you may need a bit more HC at bedtime to keep some in your system. For me, even

though the 'literature' suggests that your cortisol can be almost zero at night,

I seem to have some sort of 'set point'. Below a certain level, my adrenaline

kicks in. I've even taken my blood sugar during the night or early morning

thinking it's hypoglycemia and found my levels to be just fine, indicating it

probably is an adrenaline response.
