Hello
After reading the medical details provided by you I understand your concern for your wife and I would like to tell you that if she is complaining of palpitations or fast heart rate after a viral illness then it's advisable that you should get an ECG as well as an Echocardiography done for her.
Sometime after viral illnesses heart gets affected temporarily so it's better to evaluate it.
I hope this information will guide you properly.
Kind regards
