This could be caused by a few different things. One possibility is a dirty or faulty idle air control valve. Another possibility is a clogged air filter or fuel filter. I recommend bringing your car to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair.

I had a similar issue with my Ford S-Max and it turned out to be a problem with the throttle body. It was easily fixed by cleaning it out with throttle body cleaner. You might want to try that before taking it to a mechanic.

I've had this issue with my Ford S-Max before and it was due to a faulty mass air flow sensor. I took it to the dealership and they were able to replace it for me. I recommend taking it to a dealer or a trusted mechanic to avoid any further issues.
