Dear Sir
It is not uncommon to have high heart rate/ palpitation and other features of sympathetic overactivation for a while, when you wake up suddenly. This is especially true for early period of sleep. However it may be a sign of heart disease depending upon your profile and clinical examination. This is particularly true if shortness of breath is predominant and persistent. Please see a physician and get yourself examined.
Sincerely
