Sometimes palpitations are related to dehydration due to the body trying to increase blood pressure by releasing adrenaline; this can cause palpitations. It sounds like you are maintaining good hydration, so, dehydration sounds less likely as a cause. A 24 hour Holter monitor likely would provide an answer regarding what kind of fast heart rate is occurring.
