I have had my heart thoroughly checked by cardiologist recently. Lately my sitting down resting pulse rate is about 80 beats per minute. When I stand it goes up to 100 to 105 and only settles to 90 to 95 when just standing still. What could be causes?

My resting pulse rate has been 95 to 100 beats per minute for the last few days. I've had heart tests with a cardiologist about a year ago and all was fine. Can stress and anxiety cause that?
