What could it mean when you wake up at the middle of the night woth your heart beating fast?

Heart arrythmia: At age 35...This could be as simple as too much caffiene...But it could also represent a more serious problem of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, or arrhythmias due to sleep apnea...An evaluation by your pcp should be done, possibly a holter monitor and a sleep study..
