is this anxiety ? or heart

I'm 18 , non drinker non smoker for 6months. 6ft 3 and 68kg. I have been having palpotations for 3 months now mainly in the mornings for about 15 mins to maybe a houre.I don't know why and my heart raises very quick at any type of excertion even getting up and walking up the stairs. I'v had a heart echo and multiple ecg's then came back ok but they problems still continuing what could this be?

Today I'm feeling really anxious and almost like bloods just rushing through me i had palps in the morning today for about a houre and a half and I felt really bad during the day because my heart started pouding hard and quite hard. I sorta get this butterfly feeling and I feel very faint when my heart beats what could this be? Maybe lack of sleep? Or something else. I don't intake any caffine at all.

Please get back to me

with no way to edit,  want to add to my posting line which said
""There are individuals your age born with heart conditions that show up later on""" but it is very rare.

If you had those tests and doctors say the results did not show anything abnormal then I assume they also told you that it could be anxiety.    My feeling is you still don't want to believe them and came here for more help.     If that's the case then it sure sounds like anxiety and panic disorder especially since you're only 18.     There are individuals your age born with heart conditions that show up later on but your doctors saw nothing unusual.    So you need to seek counseling to find out why you are so constantly anxious.     For sure anxiety and panic disorder do cause palpitations and racing heart rate.      It sounds like a classic case of symptoms,  fearing the symptoms,  the fear causing more symptoms,  a vicious cycle.
