Hi
I will suggest that you should get your BP checked and get ECG done and chest Xray. If there is a defect then get it treated . If all are normal then please go for ECG whenever you get episode of fast heart beat . Avoid smoking, alcohol and coffee . Get assessed for anxiety from a psychiatrist .You may try deep breathing during stressful state of mind .
If you are satisfied with my answer then please vote helpful .
With Regards
