As you have mentioned your ECG, echo and TMT are all normal, this could be a possibility of postprandial palpitations. When you consume a meal, your body redirects a significant amount of blood flow to your stomach and intestines to assist with digestion. To compensate for this sudden shift and maintain stable blood pressure elsewhere, your heart naturally pumps faster and harder, which can feel like palpitations. Postprandial palpitations—the sensation of a racing, fluttering, or pounding heart after eating—are very common and frequently harmless. They are typically caused by normal changes in blood flow during digestion, specific dietary ingredients, or digestive reflexes. However, frequent episodes can sometimes point to underlying medical or heart conditions. Anti anxiety medicine, if dose is high even then it may cause palpitations. Just check dosing with prescribed doctor

Post-meal palpitations with normal ECG/echo/TMT strongly suggests a non-cardiac cause. Since this started with your anxiety medication, it's very likely a side effect — many anxiety medications (SSRIs, SNRIs) can cause palpitations, especially postprandially when absorption peaks. The fact that it stopped for 2 months and returned suggests a dose change or medication switch may have triggered it again.
Next Steps
Discuss this with your psychiatrist — a dose adjustment or switch to a different anxiety medication may resolve it. Also try eating a smaller, lighter breakfast. Consult me on Practo for a detailed review of your symptoms and medications.
