Brief Answer:
Seems to be anxiety only
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern. I have seen the attached reports. There is no abnormality in them.
These are the symptoms of anxiety. Second possibility can be sleep apnea. Now, sleep apnea we need to consider in case she snores in night while sleeping. You need to mention that to me in that case.
Her symptoms represent a state of anxiety, that can develop during the sleep. It might or might not be accompanied by bad dreams.
Most often anxiety is associated with a feeling of ghabrahat, palpitations and headache.
We advice in such cases treatment with anti depressants like Tricyclic antidepressant Amitryptilline, Or SSRI like Escitalopram.
She should try to keep her stress levels low and try to be happy and should start meditation that will help her greatly.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.

Brief Answer:
Psychiatrist.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
As per your confirmation of stress related issues she would require treatment from a Psychiatrist.
Starting with low dose anti depressants with life style modification is the key.
For snoring purpose she needs to be evaluated for adenoids , nasal polyps. In case she is obese she would require weight loss as obesity can cause snoring.
I hope it helps you.
