Never heard of that before, sounds really intresting! I can't really do it at will the adrenaline rush if it's even that what im feeling.. But when i listen to certain music or a movie, i get these goose bumps. Just searched some more info of it while writing this post.

"Another intense emotional situation that can cause goosebumps is the "fight or flight" response the body can employ in an extremely stressful situation. As the body prepares itself for either fighting or running, the sympathetic nervous system floods the blood with adrenaline (epinephrine)" It's probably this im feeling, might also explain my high metabolism lol.. "a hormone that speeds up heart rate, metabolism, and body temperature" Not sure how accurate wikipedia is though.

Yep, and what you say there is what tons of people erroneously believe to be ASMR. You didn't. ^_^ One is sympathetic and 'exciting', and the other is parasympathetic and 'relaxing'.

Hey Guys, been a while since I was on the forums but here is some updates.

I don't think it is adrenaline. It can be localized (like some users mentioned), but adrenaline/epinephrine like norepinephrine is secreted into the bloodstream by the adrenal grands and will activate alpha and beta receptors throughout the entire body.

Found some more people who can do this, most I found only associate it with increasing heartrate.

My best bet is direct sympathetic nervous activation (I can also give myself goosebumps, also an ANS function). Should however also release a bit of adrenaline so I'm not exactly sure.

Here is some questions to the people more inclined towards quantification:

Could you get a heart rate meter and do a before - during and after measurement of heartrate? (NOT CHANGING BREATHING PATTERN). I'm curious about what type of changes you guys will find...

Nice day to you all,

I have had this "ability" for some time now and I thought that I might be the only one.LoL But its nice to see that other have such Abilities.I can do this "rush" at will but I find it much harder to do when I am at a bad state of mind or physical/emotional state,but some times it works vice versa and it makes it stronger depending on the situation.But when it comes I fell very strong and I fell no pain.I have even had my vision blurred in a euphoric sense of rage/serenity.When doing this in a relaxed state my heart rate seems to stay the same and my vision is not enhanced, so an "Adrenaline Rush" does not explain it.And there is also no fear while this "surge" is taking place.Its almost like a drug. I use it at the gym by inducing it with music and when I do, I can lift more.I also use it at concerts to destroy mosh pits,"even at 165pounds"LoL It was like my secret weapon if fights when I used to fight a lot.The only thing I wonder is that if I can harness it and control it better, can I strengthen it and what are the possibilities?How strong can it get?
