What Causes Heart Palpitation While Sleeping?

Hi, Recently, I have been having these weird symptoms. It started about a month ago right before my college graduation. I took a nap and woke up in a weird daze. My heart started beating really fast, my vision and hearing were both blurry, and after that I felt somewhat nauseous. However, it only happened that one day so I figured it was an anxiety attack or something of that sort. A couple of days ago, the same thing happened again. I drank a bunch of alcohol the night before it happened, so I attributed it to that. I then drank again the day after that and now I have had the same symptoms for about 2 and a half days now. I am usually fine throughout the day, but when I try to go to sleep, I wake up in this weird state. Last night, I thought I was fine when I fell asleep right away, but then I woke up an hour later and I had a fever and my heart started beating fast, and my mouth felt like it was numb (and the other vision and hearing problems). I woke up, turned my light on, and couldn t sleep after that because the same thing happened every time that I tried. Do you have any ideas of what this could be? I did just get my period recently, so I don t know if that could be a factor. Please let me know Thank you!
