It seems that you could have Illness anxiety, wherein slight physical symptoms - palpitations and increased HR leads to excessive worry, negative ruminations, generalised anxious and low mood
Be assured that excessive heat, exertion, dehydration, post meal are also physiological reasons for HR changes
Between 60 - 100 is the normal range for HR
Next Steps
If you still don’t feel assured kindly a psychiatrist
