What Causes Rise In Heart Rate At Night Along With Dizziness And Fatigue?

Last night when I layed down to sleep, my heart started to race...has never done this before. I have been up all night as well as today and went about my day and was exhausted when I came home and wanted to take a nap , it is doing it again/still doing it. I also feel light headed while laying down.
