Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I have gone through the details. When the investigations are normal it is most likely due to stress/anxiety, too much caffeine, alcohol, energy drinks or too much sugar. Eating too many sweets or high in carbohydrates before bed can cause palpitations.
If everything is ruled then yes, it can be due to panic.
I hope this answered your query.
