He had a contest w/ SilverbackGorilla, slipped, threw in the towel and flipped, and last we saw him he was panhandling off an interstate exitramp holding a sign that said "Will Work for Granola bars".....
Sadly, we haven't seen Georgie since.........he's dissapeared like a gorilla in the mist......

Adrenaline flushing - This kind of vascular dilation is caused by an adrenaline rush or a large supply of adrenaline under pressure with immediate or instant flushing. It is the same as sympathetic nerves, but it is hormone released. Stress is the body's reaction to a perceived threat. Adrenaline and hormones are released, and the nervous system is activated, sharpening our senses, but simultaneously our pulse rises, our muscles tense and our immune system begins to shut down.dogoftheday said:
Those that can not relieve stress as needed may experience fatigue, upset stomach, and frequent headaches, and a flushing face. Long-term stress can contribute to family breakdown, job fatigue, with resulting long-term health problems such as depression, heart disease, high blood pressure, and rosacea.

never ever, huh? Are you sure now, or do i need to post more FACTS?dogoftheday said:
"The other type of adrenal tumor that can cause secondary hypertension (high blood pressure)is called a pheochromocytoma. This tumor produces excessive catecholamines, which include several adrenalin-related hormones. The diagnosis of a pheochromocytoma is suspected in individuals who have sudden and recurrent episodes of hypertension (high blood pressure) that are associated with flushing, rapid heart beating (palpitations), and sweating, in addition to the symptoms associated with high blood pressure."

Question Posted By: treva on Monday, December 27, 1999
49 yr old, over-weight female with history of hypertension.
3 months ago I received a stint in renal artery for renal stenosis. After procedure BP was normal without mediaction for appx. one month, however hypertension returned and has not been alleviated. Follow-up CT scans and nuclear studies reveal no restenosis. I was placed on Norvasc, Altace and hydrochlorothiazide to control BP at 145/95 (average). Test for vasoactive amines was negative. Since starting medicines partial relief has been given to the flushing and severe face pain which occurred 1 month post stint procedure. Is flushing associated with BP? What is the deciding factor to determine if hypertension is truly idiopathic?

The flushing may b associated with bouts of hypertension and I would recommend checking your BP next time you have one of these episodes. You may also be experiencing early menopause so you should check this with your doctor. Hypertension is deemed idiopathic if all secondary causes are excluded.
