Epinephrine raises the levels of some body functions, including the possibility of blood pressure. Epinephrine can be a real life saver, particularly if the patient is having a severe allergic reaction. If the blood pressure does rise the physician can treat the high blood pressure. If the patient is treated for an allergic reaction he or she may notice his or her heart races or they are shaky or real tired and perhaps very hyped up. These symptoms will fade away as the epinephrine wears out. I hope this simple explanation helps. Pegalita, medical administrator

What happens if you have low epinephrine levels?

There are certain diseases which cause your body to overproduce adrenaline. The main symptom of excess adrenaline is high blood pressure. Long term high blood pressure can cause heart disease and stroke. Pheochromocytoma, which is a tumor of the adrenal gland, causes sporadic bursts of adrenaline. These bursts of adrenaline are often mistaken for panic attacks. They can cause episodes of extremely high blood pressure (250/120 or higher) which can be fatal.
