Brief Answer:
Could be deviated nasal septum
Detailed Answer:
Hi
The grunt noise when you are in light sleep stage is due to a condition called deviated nasal septum
The midline of the nose consists of a cartilage and bony nasal septum that separates the two sides of the nasal cavity.
A deviation or bend in this structure can be present at birth or can occur following a nasal fracture.
The obstruction caused by such a deviation causing noise can be corrected by surgically straightening the septum, called a septoplasty.
A septoplasty is a commonly performed outpatient surgery done through incisions within the nasal cavity, removing the obstructing portion of bone and cartilage. An ear, nose and throat will be able to help you.

Brief Answer:
Your condition is not related to any heart problem
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I do not think your condition is related to any heart problem.
I would suggest you to do an echocardiography test and if that is normal then you are not having any heart disease.
