Why is my heart beating so fast?

I was asleep on my stomach and woke up because I could feel my heart beating. I had my boyfriend put his hand over my heart and he could feel it too. About 5 min ago it started. It has calmed down now, but it scared me. I am only 24 years old and have had no heart problems at all. Yet here at 4 am I was asleep it started beating enough to wake me up. I am a heavy sleeper. I am breathing fine. It doesn't hurt at all. Just the fast paced beating scared me. I don't know what the cause could be.

    Happened to me once before too but I heard it can be caused from stress in a dream or while your sleeping. Nothing serious I believe.
