Thanks - do we know if the pulse was fast and weak rather than fast and
strong?
Dear Rochelle,
Pulse weak and fast (irregular, intermittent) shows up in the MMs. See extracts.
Regards.

COMMENT:
Lachesis presents the weak but fast pulse.
BURT W. H., Physiological Materia Medica (btw2)
Chloralum hydratum
Respiratory organs
- In heart disease, with great dyspnoea and sense of suffocation, oppression of the base of the chest, tendency to faint, great sinking at the pit of the stomach, livid lips, excessively slow respiration, pulse weak and fast, and cold extremities, Chloral has acted finely.
CHOUDHURI N. M., A study on Materia Medica (cda1)
Crataegus oxyacantha
In those desperate cases of heart affections, such as valvular deficiencies or hypertrophy, where dyspnoea and dropsy have supervened, and the pulse is gradually growing weak and rapid, where physicians have lost heart, and the patient himself is gradually getting resigned to the inevitable end fast approaching, we can think of no better remedy than Crataegus.
Mercurius cyanatus
The pulse becomes excessively weak and fast.

Coca
Characteristics
- There was marked diminution of smell; great difficulty in producing vomiting; a scarlatina-like rash over the body, especially about the neck; dimness of vision; relaxation of sphincters and weakness of extremities; the mind remained clear, but the pulse was fast, weak and intermittent.

Therapeutics
Homeopathy in heart disease
A case of terminal pneumonia complicated with acute nephritis and a failing dilated heart muscle was cured by Dr. Kent on the symptom complex of a weak fast pulse with a subnormal temperature with the remedy Pyrog. in the 10M potency; the patient, a Dr. Austin * of New York, completely recovered, lived and practiced, a devoted homeopathic physician for over twenty years after what seemed to be a certain fatal illness. Few mortals rise from the portals of the grave to emerge into the sunlight and bloom of health with the great privilege of attaining a useful life devoted to the happy task of healing. Dr. Austin carried on, a devoted champion of Homeopathy, until extreme old age closed the curtains on his labors. Many cases of serious illness, hundreds in fact, with a separation of pulse and temperature as the chief index in their case has found the curative remedy in Pyrog.
