Hi There
First of all i want to say dont worry you as stress and anxiety are themselves an important cause for fast heart rate/palpitations. If you are stressed or anxious due to some reason then it very well explains the faster rates. If there is no such things then you can go for the basic tests advised by your doctor.
Dont worry everything will be fine.
I wish you good health
