What Causes Sudden Rise In BP And Rapid Heart Rate?
I dropped off to sleep for a few minutes. when i woke up i felt unwell and my heart felt like it was racing. I measured my BP and fount it to be 143/101 and 67 pule/min. It is usually much lower. My BP when down after lying down for a few minutes but I was left feeling cold. What could have caused this?

Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that common reason of rapid heart rate during sleep are either you had heavy meal or had a bad dream . But you must get a basic cardiac evaluation done and consult a cardiologist personally for proper treatment.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
