Hi
Welcome.
I have gone through your query.
There are many causes of palpitations, one being anxiety. I feel in your case it is the anxiety that is responsible here. Apart from that the drug that you are taking has amlodipine which can cause it. As mentioned by your consultant, you should not worried about it.

But as you are anxious about it, you can consultant other physician or cardiologist for second opinion, it will ease you out.
This provisional advice provided by me is based entirely on the input provided to me. I would suggest examination by the doctor.

I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.

Hi

If your blood pressure is under control, I don't think it should be cause of concern.
Occasional headache is might be due to tiredness, that is OK.
