Hitting himself

My DS is nearly 6months old and has started hitting himself on the chest with his left arm. He hits himself pretty hard and is waking himself up. The last few days/nights he is waking himself up every 15 minutes because of it and I can't find a way to stop him let alone know why he isn't doing it! Any ideas please!

Just to add I can't swaddle him as he screams blue murder with it

I wouldn't swaddle at 6 months anyway as it's not a good idea once they can roll.
Do you think he might be over tired or over stimulated? Any chance he has an earache or is teething?
