I believe what your doctor ordered for you to wear is called a Holter Monitor which can be worn for a minimum of 24 hours, but can be worn for weeks at a time if your doctor wants better information. Usually, with the holter monitor you should have a diary of the things you're doing when you have a raise in HR to determine what's causing the bouts of tachycardia.
Continue to wear it and log your activity, I know you want answers right away but the best and more accurate way to determine the cause of your symptoms is to follow exactly what your doctor has prescribed.
