"a hormone that speeds up heart rate, metabolism, and body temperature" Not sure how accurate wikipedia is though.

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,
