Sudden awakening at night

2018-11-29 00:30:06
My ECG was normal and my stress test was negative (181 of 188 achieved), I work out and do walking for 5kms daily. But I have digestive problems. From 2 nights, I am getting awake due to shortness of breath. But there is no tightness in chest or chest pain. I have high cholesterol, total of 277, HDL 39, LDL 191, VLDL 49. I am taking atorva 40mg in morning and 20mg at night and also Telma AM 40 for high blood pressure. I am 131kgs, and I am taking diet restrictions as well. Please can you tell me the possible reasons for shortness of breath at night? Is it due to heart blockage or due to acidity?
