Waking up with palpitations or a sensation of a racing heart may result from excessive autonomic nervous system tone during sleep, or it could be due to poor sleep quality. Additionally, palpitations and cardiac anxiety can occur in individuals with cardiovascular disease. If such symptoms recur frequently, it is advisable to consult a reputable local healthcare facility and undergo appropriate diagnostic tests to determine the underlying cause.
