Hello sir/madam.. What you are experiencing is called d palpitation which can be caused by many things.. Since the thing is causing you chest pain and wakes you up from sleep would suggest you to undergo one ecg followed by a holter monitoring to ensure that nothing I'd there.. Would want to know your age, any previous cardiac history, medication history to rule out obvious causes.
