What you're describing is caused by increased levels of adrenaline, endorphins and severals other chemicals produced as the body reacts to stress and a threat. The increased perception is due to increased neuro-transmitter levels. The human body is not designed to cope with these levels of chemicals, and if sustained would burn out within a few months, while giving the person huge amounts of strength with no pain. Research has been done by the US military (at this point i might add "to create the perfect soldier", but i'm not like that), but it has not been possible to induce these levels in animals and keep the animal alive for long.

When stressed, the body produces more of these chemicals anyway, and it has been observed what happens after long term exposure to high amounts.

Basically, dont get angry! I would guess it's a genetic problem, which causes unusually high levels of certain stress related chemicals to be produced when you get angry. See a doctor, some medications will be able to reduce the amount of certain hormones produced.

ts757, that is the BEST explanation of my problem I have ever heard! It even confused my doctor! haha Thanks for ur help. Im greatly impressed by your knowledge. The military actually tries to create "humans" with the levels of adrenaline and endorphins that I already have? Thats freaky! Hey, I should go join the military! woo hoo! *sarcasm* The military life just isnt my style. I like this gift/curse at times, it proves to be useful if anyone ever jumps me. haha Anyway, great message and thanks for ur help.

well, the military explored the option, when it failed on animals the project was immediatly scrapped... or was it?

Knowing my luck I'll have men in black (or white) jackets at my door tommorrow.

Wow, 14? I'd say it's a hormonal balance problem.

Extract from the book Hyperventilation Syndrome: Breathing Pattern Disorders, Dinah Bradley.
"Hyperventilation means moving more air through the chest than the body can deal with. Most people have experienced hyperventilation - also called over breathing - to some degree, usually in the form of an acute attack. Its a nornal reaction to sudden danger or excitement, and the signs are easy to pick.
Breathing and heart rates speed up.
Adrenalin pours into the bloodstream.
The nervous system is on 'red alert'
Muscles tense up.
Sometimes people faint or collapse - or find super-human resevoirs of strength. When the stressful event is over, the body returns to its normal relaxed state.
Less easy to spot is chronic hyperventilation, a breathing pattern disorder in which over breathing becomes a habit........"
etc. etc.
I thought of you when I read this, hope it helps.
