9. Heart beating much faster than usual

When the doctor examines someone with acute stress disorder, it comes as no surprise to discover that the patient's heart beats more rapidly than usual. They have no grounds for concern in the vast majority of cases. Once they recover from this ordeal, their heartbeat returns to normal. If this patient has a history of heart disease, the doctor might want to monitor their heart health and perhaps prescribe medications.
