There are many factors which can result in high pulse rate, like high blood pressure and hypertension result in high pulse rate. Pulse rate also rises significantly during strenuous exercises.
A regular pulse for a healthy human being, while resting, can vary from anywhere between 60 to 100 beats per minute. While sleeping, this rate can drop as low as 40 beats per minute. Normally pulse rate is higher in younger individuals. Apart from its velocity, the pulse has further qualities which replicate the state of the cardiovascular system, like its cadence, detail and the shape of the pulse wave. An alternating method of determining pulse rate is by palpating or paying attention to the heartbeat. This is usually done via the examiner's palm or with the help of a stethoscope.
