hi
This can be due to stress & anxiety induced palpitations.
simple anxiolytics like alprazolam 0.25 mgs under medical supervision at night will help you in relaxing.
If the palpitations are persistent, you can go for a cardiologist opinion.
Beta blockers and 2d -echo to find out for any other cardiac problems.all the best, take care
