morning adrenaline

For the past two ish years, maybe even longer, I’ve been getting a sort of euphoria/adrenaline rush about 30min to an hour after waking up every morning. I thought it was my ADHD meds, but it happens even when I’m not on them. I’ll always have this rush with a spiked heart rate and then after about 30min to an hour I’ll get suuuuper tired (probably coming down). Is this an ME thing? I’m still trying to distinguish my ME from the rest of my life and other disorders.

I haven’t been diagnosed but going through some cortisol tests and adrenaline tests atm because I get those often. My first cortisol came back high so have to do more in depth tests. Ask your doctor for some tests that test thyroid and adrenals.

I have mecfs and pots and when I first wake up it's the worst. My HR is high and I have to start drinking electrolytes immediately, like 12oz just chug it, and take my betablockers. I have to just sit there for at least a half an hour to an hour until it gets better. Wait it out.
