Many possibilities: There are all kinds of possibilities with this. Are you having trouble breathing when laying down? Do you have history of heart problems? Are you frightened when you wake up? Having a bad dream? Panic attack in the night? These are all types of questions your doctor would want to know if you go to him/her with this complaint -- only with personal exam can you get to an answer. Sorry.
