Adrenaline is the hormone which is produced by the adrenal glands after they receive a message from the brain. This along with norepinephrine makes you take immediate actions in stressful conditions. You start sweating, breathing faster and also gives you muscle tension. But it is also a hormone that gives you instant energy to run away when in a dangerous situation.

Cortisol is the hormone that helps you concentrate on stressful situations. It also helps maintain fluid balance and blood pressure. But increase in cortisol leads to weight gain. It also affects your growth and digestion. It is because of cortisol that you tend to get acne and rash problems.

Norepinephrine is another stress hormone that helps you stay alert and responsive. It also moves the blood flow from less crucial areas to the more needy ones so that it helps you escape an unwanted situation. Now that you've known of these stress hormones, make sure you realise the effect of it and help yourself out.
