Palpitation or fast heart beat as you have mentioned is most commonly associated with Thyroid problems like Hyperthyroidism or if Thyroxine treatment dose is high for Hypothyroidism.. Since ur Echo is normal and ECG shows only sinus tachycardia, u need not worry.
Next Steps
Check TSH levels and consult Endocrinologist to adjust the Thyroxine dose. If palpitations is frequent then Tablet. Propranolol 10 mg twice daily can started for 3-4 weeks.
