What are the limits of adrenalin?

111 views

I know that adrenalin is considered to unleash some crazy strength and pain resistance, but would you still be able to function “normally” after some extreme pain like losing a leg or an arm or something similar. Another question would be why people pass out after some accidents, is this because the adrenalin is too much or too slow, so your body just shuts down?

Adrenaline isn’t what’s causing you to pass out. Something called [vasovagal syncope](https://www.medicinenet.com/fainting/article.htm) causes you to pass out. Vasovagal syncope is more common in the fight or flight response is either really activated or suppressed, though I’m unsure why this is!
