No you don't need to repeat the D-Dimer test again. It has already been 25 days since you had CoViD. Your doctor is correct that your increases heart rate (tachycardia) is due to anxiety. As an ECG and ECHO can very easily detect any abnormalities of heart.
Next Steps
Try to relax yourself by meditation, deep breathing excercises and yoga. Read some good books, avoid watching too much news and WhatsApp messages. These are full of negative news and may make you anxious.

No you do not need to get D-dimer, post covid rapid heartbeat with normal echo and ecg is mostly due to anxiety.
Next Steps
You could consult a psychologist or psychiatrist to help your anxiety
Health Tips
Try some breathing exercises and try to find what triggers your anxiety.
