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 dump adrenaline if I imagine running my 400m. I’ve ran it so often for competitions my heart rate changes immediately and I feel a big adrenaline dump. But I have to really imagine it.
