Hello Welcome to HEALTH CARE MAGIC
I can understand your problem. Sudden onset breathlessness, feelings of stomach fullness, dizziness in head in night followed by waking up from sleep in night should not be ignored. These symptoms can occur due to a number of reasons like Sleep Apneas, Anxiety, some cardiac conditions etc. The dizzy spells in morning with symptoms like drunkenness etc could be occurring due to persistent non-refreshing sleep. Visit a physician for evaluation of these symptoms.
Polysomnography or sleep studies can help to find out the underlying cause of these symptoms in night. ECG should also be done as this will rule out any cardiac cause. If every thing comes normal then other possibility is anxiety. So for evaluation of these symptoms visit a doctor for help.
Thankyou. Hope this helps. Take care
