A member asked:
Is it normal to have fast heart beats for a while if you got surprised or shocked ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Most of the time adrenaline will increase your heart rate for a short time if you are surprised but it should go away gradually and go back to normal. If it happens at other times and lasts for a long time, that is a different story.
