Physiologically, LSD produces an increased pulse rate and blood pressure, sweating, palpitations, nausea, and even uterine contractions.
In an effort to increase heat loss, the skin blood vessels dilate to such an extent that blood flow to the brain is reduced, resulting in symptoms of faintness, dizziness, headache, increased pulse rate, restlessness, nausea, vomiting, and possibly even a brief loss of consciousness.

Cold exposure, but not the mental test, elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure, whereas the mental test increased pulse rate and skin conductance level more markedly than cold exposure.
True it has its well documented associated physiological events: the increased pulse rate and blood pressure, sweating, and so on, but each of these phenomena may also be part of physical exertion, fear, or even pleasurable excitement.
On admission the horse had increased pulse rate and brick coloured mucous membranes, which could be consistent with endotoxaemia.
This is perhaps not surprising, since bacterial infection causes fever, which in turn increases the pulse rate, so that increased temperature positively confounds (is at least part of the explanation for) the observed association between increased pulse rate and SBI.
Increased pulse rate is an important predictor of SBI, supporting National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence recommendations that pulse rate be routinely measured in the assessment of febrile children.
People carrying the mutant ALDH2 allele display characteristic acetaldehyde-mediated acute effects of alcohol drinking such as facial flushing and increased pulse rate [ 21].
A cross-sectional study of 176 community-based women [ 50] revealed that participation in vigorous activity (activity leading to sweating, shortness of breath, or an increased pulse rate) was associated with greater medial tibial cartilage volume.
