Extreme elevated heart rate with normal exertion - standing, walking

[Pastorphil]

My daughter-in-law is experiencing unexplainable extreme heart rate elevation with normal exertion such as walking or standing from a seated position.  Emergency room personnel recorded a jump from 98 BPM to 130-150 BPM upon standing from a seated position.  Subject is 20 years old and in good health.  Symptoms started shortly after eating breakfast on a cruise ship. Cruise ship medical personnel diagnosed anxiety as a possible cause, but hospital ultrasound and CBC discovered nothing significant.  Yet the condition persists even when subject is under influence of doctor prescribed Xanax.  What conditions might be causing this problem?

I've been having these same tachycardia episodes upon standing  I'll go from 55 to 120+ on a good day.  A bad day will push 170+ .  If I lay down it's right back down to resting rate.  I've had every test you can imagine , tilt table , EP,  numerous stress/ echos.  64 slice ct.   I'm on .25 atenolol / x 2 daily & Xanax as needed.  

I'm on my 2nd 30 day cardiopal savi recorder (in 2yrs) and I just recorded a tach event so ill be waiting to find out if I was sinus tach or if I had some afib that started that.  Also: I was diagnosed with moderate sleep apnea 2yrs ago & do not use my cpap.

I usually go months without any of these symptoms, but now i've had several in a week. 3 years and 200k worth of tests.  My Stress level is moderate & life was good untill these episodes started happening.  Please believe me when I say that I feel your pain folks.  I live with the daily anxiety of the next episode.

I am a diabetic patient. Due to skipping meal, Diamicron and metformin harmed me. At the start blood pressuring falling ans heart rate was increasing. Later only heart was going high on standing and walking.
My blood sugar was high with ups and downs.  When sugar was settled.\, it improved after six months.

After that I started taking Insulin Lantus and Humalog. It was working well for me for a year. After that lantus was not working that well. But it was late in prescribing another one(LEVEMIR) and fixing the dose. IN the mean standing and walking  heart rate started to go high.. It is making lot of stress on eyes

About 2 months blood sugar was high. Now sugar is almost fixed.  In another weak it will be OK. But still I have lot of symptoms.  Can any body help?  Resting heart rate is 64, If I wak it goes to 100
