Brief Answer:
This occurred most likely due to anxiety

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Redness of face, feeling hot inside, rapid heart rate etc occurring in anger most probably occurred due to severe anxiety. In anger sympathetic stimulation occurs and this results in palpitations, redness of fave, feelings like hot etc symptoms. Relaxing by lying down brings down the heart rate. This is absolutely normal thing after anger. Try to remain calm and you will feel better.
