Madam you are on hypertension medications and need atleast follow up with your physician half yearly. Palpitation means fast heart beat and you need to know the reason. It could be anxiety related as per your age or could be cardiac or physiological.
please get your ECG , thyroid test done and echocardiogram .please review with the test .If all ok then need anxiolytics only.
