Palpitations in AM: May be from reflux or caffeine (coffee ,energy drinks, lots of tea, or cocaine). Check thyroid. As you wake systems are just starting up, may be mal-regulation of vagal tone- (when stimulated should slow heart rate). May consider EKG/ sonogram just to ensure not mitral valve prolapse or hypertrophy. Review medications, f/u with doctor /urgent care
