Adrenaline speeds up the heart rate, as does various stimulants such as caffeine.
You'd be surprised at the amount of stuff that can increase or decrease your "PR" (pulse rate).
Increases: Stress, Certain Medications, Exercise, holding your breath, watching suspense movies, action movies, ect.
Decreases: Sexual Activity, Certain Medications, Sleeping, etc.
There are tons and tons of causes for changes in your pulse.
