[Pulse Type] Hurried pulse [cumai] [Interpretation] A rapid pulse with irregular intermittence, often due to excessive heat with stagnation of qi and blood, or retention of phlegm or undigested food. [Comments] 
This is the excess version of the knotted pulse. It is sometimes called the "running" or "abrupt" pulse. The rapidity indicates heat and the irregularity indicates the blockage caused by stagnation and/or accumulation.
