Hello,
After going through the medical details provided by you I would like to tell you that stress and anxiety are One of the important causes of fast heartbeats. However just to be on the safe side it’s advisable that you should get yourself evaluated just by getting few basic cardiac tests done which include ECG and eco-cardiography.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
