I woke up with my heart rate at 162 bpm and i was perspiring a lot was it a panic attack?

Maybe, but...: There are several possibilities. One is a cardiac arrhythmia. If you have chest pain, nausea and / or shortness of breath, or if the rapid beat persists, please go to the hospital emergency department. Your symptoms warrant further evaluation
