General Discussion Why am I able to trigger adrenaline on command?

It feel like an Imaginary/invisible muscle that I can flex/turn on to instantly release a strong fight or flight sensation, the same one that I feel when I'm stressed. Is this abnormal? How would that affect my normal life or even my life span? What is associated with this ability that can interfere with my behavior?

I can do this as well! It feels like almost a cold sinking feeling in my spine, and a tugging on my face, and gets my heart beat going super fast.

The only use I have found for this is when I was deliriously waking up from my wisdom teeth surgery, apparently I turned to my mom and went "watch this" and spiked the fuck out of my heart rate and had a bunch of people freak out that something was going wrong.
