hi
palpitation can be of two types

sinus tachycardia - heart rate is high but haert rythm is normal ... a thing not so serious

second is arrythmia ...there are various type of arrythmias and they are very dangerous

an ecg is the basic requirement before giving you a suggestion

i would advise you to go for
a ecg
a holter(24 hour heart beat monitor) to rule out the cause of palpitations

donot increase daiazepam without consulting a doctor
tab propranolol can also be added to provide relief if tests shows that its a normal tachycardia
