Many reasons: A forgotten nightmare and an episode of supraventricular tachycardia are the two best bets. If it takes your breath away or is accompanied by pain, or if you feel otherwise unwell, let your physician know.

See a Doctor: There are many reasons for "racing heart" symptoms. You need at least an ekg and maybe an echocardiogram to find the cause. There are many different treatments available that are effective but you have to have the correct diagnosis to apply the right treatment.
