Tend To Be Keyed Up, Trouble Calming Down

Being keyed up all the time, and having difficult calming down is a sign of increased adrenal output, or hyperadrenalism. Increased cortisol with a concomitant low DHEA can cause these symptoms. In the beginning stages of adrenal decompensation the body's response to stress is to increase the cortisol output from the adrenal glands.
