What Causes Heart Palpitations And Shivering In A Toddler?

My 2.5yr son just woke up (where we live is middle of night) with heart palpitation. He was shivering and crying and he couldnt stop even when i hold him up in my arms (dad). I listened to his heart and it was absolutely racing. He has calmed down now went back to sleep. The whole happenning was about 20min. I dont think this is normal. What do u think?
