Pulse rate can increase with anxiety. You may get yourself treated for anxiety asap. However do not alarm yourself with physical symptoms without consulting a physician. Get a health check done first and once and then visit a clinical psychologist for anxiety.

Yes, this can happen. When you wake up, your body naturally shifts from a sleep state to an alert state, so the heart rate can briefly rise. Opening your eyes and becoming suddenly aware of your heartbeat can also increase it further, especially when you already have anxiety. The fact that it comes down to 70–80 bpm within a short time is reassuring. Your pulse does not necessarily remain 115–125 throughout sleep just because you notice a spike immediately after waking.
I would also suggest that you avoid checking your pulse immediately after opening your eyes. With anxiety, repeatedly monitoring bodily sensations can create a cycle of ‘check → notice increase → worry → adrenaline → check again.’ Try giving yourself a few minutes to wake up calmly before measuring.
Since this has been happening along with anxiety for the past 6 months, therapy can be very helpful in reducing health anxiety, body-monitoring and the fear associated with normal fluctuations in heart rate. We can work on breaking this checking-and-reassurance cycle through CBT-based techniques.

Sleep has two main phases: NREM sleep and REM sleep. NREM sleep includes deep sleep, during which the heart rate and blood pressure usually decrease. During REM sleep, which is the stage in which dreams are usually more vivid, heart rate and blood pressure can become more variable and may temporarily increase, which is a normal physiological response.
REM sleep becomes longer and more frequent during the second half of the night, so it is quite common to wake up around a REM period in the morning. Therefore, if you notice that your pulse is somewhat higher immediately after waking up, this can be a normal physiological phenomenon, particularly if it settles down after a few minutes of rest.
However, a persistently high resting pulse, especially if associated with chest pain, breathlessness, dizziness, or palpitations, should be evaluated separately.
