Is this normal? Or is it a disorder?

When I wake up I have seriously fast heartbeat. It's insane it's like my heart will explode. It's not always happening though only when I dont get enough sleep. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is it normal? How can I deal with it?

Just another helpful hint to throw your way, for my sister and many Others like her have this, are on medicine for it: Panic attacks. Anxiety quite possibly. She will be sleeping at nite, even during a mid day snooze, and all of a sudden, her heart will take on a Very Very 'Fast heartbeat' which feels as though it Might jump out of her skin at any given moment, making her also feel as though she is Dying. It scares the life out of her. But many times, when she has had trouble sleeping, this will just Occur out of the blue.
Regardless of anything, it might be a good idea to get checked by your doctor. This way you can rest assure yourself what is going on, and if you do need to be on Meds, he or she can prescribe what you may need.
Good luck. xx

This is called the morning tachycardia
It could be the result of stress and sleep deprivation or high blood viscosity.
You should see a doctor about this, it could lead to serious problems
