Hello

The symptoms you are describing are more like due to angina or NSTEMI , meaning that your vessel of your heart get narrowed , and during sleep , your heart vessels contract more and you get sweating , dizziness , fast heart rate with palpitations.

I would like to get echo ecg and ett to check for heart vessel patency , and this will clear our diagnosis

Hope this helps

Take care
