Many reasons;: There are many reasons for a fast heart rate, some are metabolic, some are hormonal, some are secondary to uncontrolled stress and anxiety and some are simply circuitry issues within the heart itself. In young adults suffering from anxiety, and whose symptoms include waking up with a racing heart, it is wise to rule out cardiac issues. Usually with an EKG, and at times thyroid hormone testing.

Anxiety: Remaining focused on this may actually exacerbate it . 102 is a little bit elevated -are you have pounding or fluttering sensation. If you have the latter and it is occurring often - get evaluated. In the meantime- If you can find a quiet place - do so. Breath in slowly & deeply through your nostrils. Fill your lungs with air (but not to the point of discomfort). Hold for a count of five then
