Rapid/ Fast Pulse
Well the rapid, fast pulse is all about the heart rate
You could have 3 different types, racing, skipping or stirring pulse - yea
The racing pulse is anything over 120 beats per minute
The skipping is over 90 beats with irregular intermittent skips
While the common stirring is over 90 beats, rapid, forceful, slippery and short.

Thin White Tongue Patterns
Thin white tongue is normal
Or wind-cold or damp in the exterior.
Thin white slippery tongue is
Exterior attack of cold damp
Thin white dry pale tongue
Is blood vacuity,
Or it could be vacuity
In the yang.
Thin white dry normal tongue
Is external wind-cold
Or wind-heat injuring lung fluid
Or wind-dry invasion
I, I'm hooked on thin white tongues,
I gotta know them
To be able to understand.
