hello dear for posting your query here.
You probably had PND (Paroxysmal Nocturnal Dyspnea) and the most common cause for it is High BP. But still you need to get your evaluation done to rule out other more important heart related causes. For this, you must see your doctor and get yourself properly evaluated by getting an ECG and an Echo. And if this is the first time that you are detected to have high BP, then get your ultrasonography of the abdomen and renal Doppler. And the most important start medicines for high BP after. consulting with your doctor.
Hope this would help you. All the best.
