3 years ago, I started getting heart palpitations when I sleep. There's no fear, stress or anxiety. Just neutral. The palpitations only happen when I'm unconscious. When I wake up it slows back down. I don't even have to move. What is going on?

Palpitations, fast resting heart rate (99), exhaustion and want to sleep all day, and nausea and not sleeping well. I'm on levothyroxine 137mg. How do you know if this is anxiety or thyroid?
