Hello,

Possible causes are:

1. POTS syndrome itself causes palpitations.
2. post-traumatic stress disorder also may present like this.
3. Hyperthyroidism.
4. Night terrors.
5. Panic attacks may present like this.

Check for other possibilities like arrhythmia or myocardial infraction etc. Do regular exercise and yoga. Avoid caffeinated drinks and alcohol. Please consult your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
