Why Can Symptoms be Delayed?

Question

Accepted Answer

When you’re involved in an auto accident, your body’s natural response is to produce adrenaline and endorphins. An adrenal hormone is released in stressful situations which provides awareness and energy to get you through the crisis. Endorphins are brain peptides that help block the sensitivity to pain and provide a feeling of well-being. These “fight or flight” hormones temporarily mask pain, which means you might feel fine immediately after the crash. As the effects of these hormones wear off, the physical impact of the accident can start to reveal itself.
