Most likely these are nocturnal "Panic Reactions". Certainly have your primary care physician evaluate you, but highly unlikely you have any organic heart disease. Medication could be used temporarily, but a far better approach is a course of cognitive-behavioural therapy.

Look up cardiac anxiety and discuss with your Dr.
