Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,

Your symptoms palpitations and anxiety, that caused disturbed sleep. I would suggest to visit a Physician/Cardiologist to get examined and get an ECG to know the cause which can be easily detected by this simple investigation even you can go to ER of hospital.

If this is normal then further tests can be planned depending on your requirement.

Treatment depends on cause and simple anti anxiety prescription may be given to you.

Later on if required 2 D echocardiography and Tread mill test can be performed to rule out any significant heart problem.
This should help you.

Take care.
Good Luck.
