How does adrenalin affect the body?
About three inches long in the human body, the adrenal glands are located right above the kidneys. When the adrenal glands are active and functioning properly, around 20% of the substances released by the adrenal glands is noradrenalin while 80% is adrenalin.
In extremely stressful situations, a "fight or flight" response is sometimes used. In this case, the body releases adrenalin which stimulates the heart rate and dilates the blood vessels. It also expands air passages. All of these things work together in order to allow the body is circulate more oxygen into the lungs as well as more blood throughout the body. Because more blood can go into the muscles at this time, some people are able to find themselves with more strength than they usually possess. This relates back to the evolutionary process when adrenalin used as a physical response that humans and animals were able to use to defend and protect themselves.
In small doses, adrenalin is sometimes administered during health crisis in order to re-stimulate the heart rate or during allergic reactions. It's important that this only be administered in the right quantities, however, or else adverse reactions can occur. also when you are under the effect of adrenaline blood pmps into your muscles and it stops going to least important things like hair and nail growth etc.

Does Equate Extra Strength Headache Relief interfere with thyroid medications?
Yes, in a couple of ways.
1) If you take them at the same time. Thyroid medications are meant to be taken alone, 30 minutes before you eat or digest anything else.
2) If aspirin (which is in Equate Extra Strength Headache relief) is used for even one week, the thyroid hormones they are looking for on tests (T3, T4 - both total and free, and TSH) will be lower. So, taking aspirin may not interfere with your thyroid medication, but it does interfere with how your thyroid is performing.
It should be noted that in some thyroid patients, specifically, those who have a normal thyroid except for low T3 or T4, taking thyroid hormones with acetaminophen can set you up for liver damage.
