Can anxiety or a lot of adrenaline kill or harm you?

There is research to suggest that anxiety can lead to CHD (coronary heart disease) but the research available is far from conclusive. There is ample research to suggest that there are no links at all between anxiety and CHD thus the pursuit of debate amongst psychologists continues. You can find research for both arguments via Google. The adrenaline aspect of the question is rather vague. A release of adrenaline will increase the heart rate which could technically cause problems for those with heart problems although this would be rare. I would recommend researching broken heart syndrome, an interesting condition which can be caused by emotional stress resulting in a prolonged surge of adrenaline causing what can appear like a heart attack.

On the other hand, if your question is in relation to taking adrenaline as a drug then yes, to much adrenaline can increase your heart rate to quickly and to a BPM (beats per minute) higher than it's capability. A rough guide to your maximum heart rate would be to deduct your age from 220. Finally, there is research to suggest that the increase in heart rate from adrenaline can pump toxins around your body rapidly resulting in sudden death. The best way to understand this theory would be to research the toxins which build up in a limb after applying a tourniquet. Releasing the tourniquet can cause the toxins to kill if released in to the blood stream. The theory that toxins can kill when adrenaline is introduced is the similar in the sense that the increased heart rate can suddenly pump around toxins which may have collected. Sorry that i have had to resort to providing so much unconclusive evidence.

Is androgen therapy used in treating problems of erection?

If after having a blood test to check your testosterone levels (best done in the morning,when your testosterone levels are highest) you find your testo levels are low, I would advise talking to your MD. about testosterone replacement. After taking self injections of testosterone cypionate weekly (painless) I find I have much more energy,libido, and a better sense of wellbeing. These injections are much cheaper than the gels and patches. One point about the testosterone levels. The range that is considered "normal" is very wide-in that one person of the same age can have almost 10 times the amount of total testosterone and both fall in the normal range?
