Hi.
Anxiety, panic and stress are indeed the most common causes. But other factors like electrolyte disturbances, nutritional deficiencies, etc; are also majorly contributive. As it is to do with the heart, it is best you report to a cardiologist for a detailed examination, EKG, and an array of blood tests to find the exact cause.
Best wishes.
