Heart anxiety

My name is Chris im 20 years old and I just recently started back trying to workout again but a hour or so after I got home and got settled down my heart took off racing and pounding out of nowhere!! And it probably lasted for 45 mins to an hour easily and I do have a bad history of heart anxiety for about 2 years now and I've had multiple normal ekgs blood work and chest xrays all normal. my normal doctor even gave my heart a listen and said it sounds great!.. So is this just my anxiety?? Should I continue to workout?

Then start back in more slowly.  That will keep you from getting injured anyway.

Hi.  I've had my heart rate go to 180 due to a panic attack while at a gym.  However,  then a year later I was in the ER getting my heart converted back into normal rhythm.  I have SVT,  short for supra ventricular tachycardia.  SVT typically cannot be diagnosed unless you wear a heart holter and have an episode while wearing it.  
But,  it could also very well be anxiety as well. Just keep your doctor informed.  Good luck!
