I am a 15 year old male. I have recently noticed when i wake up my heart is beating very fast and i didnt have any dreams the times it happend. Could this be caused by not enough sleep, stress or low blood sugar? No one in my family has any heart problems that i know of.

I often have this same issue with my heart racing when I get up. I'd also like to know. One thing I'd like to point out is I am 47yrs old (much older than you) but I have experienced this off and on for years. Does this happen to you on a daily basis or just once in a while?
It'll be interesting to see what people have to say about it.

I also have this issue. I'm 38 yrs of age and this has been happening to me for about 1 year. I would like to know what is causing this?

Wow same here, but I'm a 16 yr old female. I notice when I wake sometimes I am shakey, hot, and my heart will beat very strong, either slow OR very fast. I'm a bit underweight but athletic. No heart disease in family. It subsides when I take deep slow breathes and stop moving. Sometimes I wonder if this could be due to eating something too salty or sugary and going to sleep?
