Hi Kay-
Lots of people wake up like that. Do you have a relaxation tape that you can do before bed and maybe on awakening? I felt like my body must have had a bad dream or gotten hot in the night or something was bothering me when I would wake up like that. Even 2 days ago, I woke up with the heart beat thing and I haven't had that in quite some time. Turns out I must have been hormonally surging, as I spotted that next day. Go figure. I told myself I couldn't change the hormone thing, so quit trying. And I calmed. Before... I freaked out for days that I had cancer, etc. I got a pat on the back the other day from myself for really turning it around fairly quickly.
Do whatever you can to calm yourself. Cut the caffeine, sugar, alcohol. Exercise daily. Eat whole foods, not processed stuff and tell yourself the truth. You probably are waking with an adrenaline squirt from a bad dream or low blood sugar. Adrenaline will make you feel all the things you mentioned. Put it back into it's place. It doesn't get the front burner.
Welcome and I hope you find relief soon.
