For a long time I've been feeling like my body is so weak & exhausted that my body sends out a ton of adrenaline to try to give me energy.
I do get some energy , but it's really a false energy because if I do anything (cook dinner, but groceries etc) I'm left feeling exhausted & sick.
I think a lot of my feeling sick, anxious, restless & lack of sleep is actually physical from the adrenaline surge.
Then comes the crash for weeks where my body just can't give out enough adrenaline & I'm left in bed , so weak I can't sit up or breathe.
I told my reg Dr about this but she had no idea how to test or treat adrenaline surges & crashes.
The functional medicine Dr just brushed me off.
Does this make sense to anyone? Can adrenaline surges & crashes be tested for? By whom? And how do I treat this?
My body is super sensitive to the slightest supplement or medication, & money is very tight, so I can't just try random things.
ETA, sometimes I have a day like today where the adrenaline and the crash feel like they're "fighting". I'm terribly weak, can barely move from the crash, but I can't relax from the adrenaline.
