Dr. Dev Vaz answered

Many possibilities: It may be anxiety or it may be an arrhythmia or even both. Depending on the frequency, your doctor can order a holter monitor, event monitor, or rarely even a loop recorder. It is odd that you have fever after the palpitations (sensation of a fast heart beat).
