Hello,

Rapid heart rate during sleep could be due to anxiety. I suggest you to take rest and practice relaxation techniques. If the symptoms still continue then I suggest you to consult a cardiologist for clinical assessment and relevant investigations.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
