A doctor has provided 1 answer

Tachycardia: There are numerous causes of tachycardia, and when it is too rapid to count and stops abruptly, it suggests an arrthymia caused by abnormal electrical impulses in the heart and should be checked out by your doctor. A brief episode of rapid pulse followed by gradual slowing over a few minutes can be related to an adrenaline response such as fright or panic.
