I go to sleep tired and wake up in about 1.5 hours with a lower stomach painless sensation of restlessness
I then go to sleep for 2-3 hours, make a trip to the bathroom and settle down after tossing and turning for an hour. Melatonin sometimes helps.

Brief Answer:
Psychological impact possible, allergy test and GIT examination advisable
Detailed Answer:
Dear patient,
thank you for providing further information. Your heart and lung condition seems to be stable after passing above mentioned tests. But examination of abdomen can still be advisable, for ex. ultrasound and potentially gastro/ kolonoskopy.
Looking at the whole picture it seems possible though that you are suffering from mental stress/ depression related symptoms, which sometimes may also cause physical issues. For this matter psychological counceling can also be helpful, if available to you.
Wishing you all the best in this difficult time of change in your life.
