It happens: There's no answer that you will find satisfying. Please understand that palpitations do not mean that you have heart disease as irregular heart beat occurs in virtually everyone to some extent and more so when anxiety (which you list) is present. Medications and exercise can help. Avoid nicotine and caffeine. Get plenty of rest. Treat your anxiety disorder. Consider a beta blocker.
