For the past 3 months my heart rate races and my body weakens when i wake from napping. and answers please?

Answers: Please actually see a physician and get a comprehensive physical exam, blood testing and an EKG. This sounds like a normal response when rapidly awakening and must be evaluated for further diagnosis.
