"busted by his girl friend" means his girl friend found out something he had done wrong, for example, caught him in a lie. It can also mean that his girl friend told the police about a crime he had committed. Is that the meaning you are trying to communicate?

  • Maybe you mean that his girlfriend broke up with him, that is, she no longer wanted a relationship with him?
  • I think this may be closer to what you mean (but I'm not sure from what you've written): When his girlfriend broke up with him, his heart began to beat hard, and he became very agitated.

A pulse or a heart could flutter (palpitate). Not a person.
