Hi,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that your symptoms could be related to nightmares (which is a sleep disorder) or anxiety.
If your symptoms persist, I recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:

-a resting ECG
- a chest X-ray study
- complete blood count for anaemia
- blood electrolytes for imbalances.

An ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring would help investigate for possible cardiac arrhythmia.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka,
Cardiologist
