What Causes Palpitations In The Thigh During Sleep?

Yes thank you. Last night i experienced something i have never experienced while sleeping. I was awakened by strong poking/palpitations in my upper front right thigh. It last lasted for at least an hour. There was no pain but they were so strong they kept waking me up. Heart attack? I am 49 years old.
