I believe the answer is: Alarm stage

Alarm stage is most commonly known as the fight or flight stage. This tend to happen when living being is facing a certain event that make us unsure whether we should face it heads on or running away because of its potential danger. During this time, reduction in immune system happen accompanied by increase in adrenaline that improve our overall focus and response time.
