There is no pulse in the nerve. The pulse is felt only in the artery. Hence answer to your question does not arise.
Do you mean "arterial pulse"?
Pulse is felt in the arteries when the ventricles contracts / shrinks. If there is no rhythm of the heart, the pulse of the heart varies with the pulse in the arteries.
Disturbed heart rhythm, or arrhythmia, occurs when the heart's natural pacemaker develops an abnormal rate or rhythm, the normal blood flow is blocked or another part of the heart takes over as pacemaker.
Normal heartbeats occur at between 60 and 100 beats per minute for adults when resting.
They start in the right atrium, or upper chamber, of the heart sending an electrical signal which spreads to a connecting point to the ventricles, or lower chambers.
The atria contract first, followed by the ventricles a fraction of a second later.
Too slow or too fast
Heartbeats can be too slow, known as bradycardia. A heartbeat of less than 60 beats per minute can cause fatigue, dizziness, light-headedness or fainting.
A heart beat which is too fast, tachycardia, can produce palpitations and is also responsible for dizziness, light-headedness and fainting. Rapid heart-beating in the ventricles can be life threatening.
Ventricular fibrillation, where the lower chambers quiver and the heart cannot pump any blood, leads to collapse and sudden death unless medical treatment is immediately provided.
In atrial fibrillation, where the two upper chambers of the heart - the atria - quiver instead of beating properly, blood is not properly pumped out of the heart. As a result it may form clots and if the clot becomes lodged in an artery in the brain, a stroke may result.
The American Heart Association says around 15% of strokes are caused in this way.
If you have any difference, you should take ECG and consult the cardiologist immediately.
Please see the webpages for more details on Arrythmias, Disturbed heart rhythm and Atrial fibrillation.

If you mean what you can hear then you may men the lub-dub sound which can be heard when using a stephascope. This is the sound of the heart beating but this is not the same as your pulse. When you feel your pulse you only feel the blood which is actually pumped out of the heart during systole, which is the second sound.
