Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,

You are 13 year old and having anxiety, please understand anxiety it self can cause fast heart rate that is tachycardia.

It is only episodic for you that is once or twice a day, it is unlikely due to any organic cause.
We still need to rule them out hence please consult a Physician and conditions like Anemia,Hyperthyroid state and even any disease causing low grade fever.

If everything is fine then your doctor can give anti anxiety medication for some duration and symptomatic relief by use of Beta blocker in low dose.

Please also take up yoga and meditation which help to calm down anxiety.

These are prescription medicines and you will need proper prescription.
Hope this helps.
Wish you good Luck
Dr.Akhilesh Dubey M.D.
