High bpm upon standing

Hi. Recently I've been struggling with many anxiety attacks. These anxiety attacks happen after I get "anxiety about anxiety" and they usually last a minute to 5, but I get a fast heart rate from it and need to calm down. But after these anxiety attacks the past two days, when I stand up my heart rate goes up by about 40-50 bpm. This only happens initially and goes away after standing for a while. I already had an ekg and blood test but nothing was wrong :/ so can anxiety cause this? Thanks!
