Topics:While lying awake I lose my breat and have trouble then inaling Then my heart races , Sleep Disorders

A lot of times while lying on my side or back awake I get the sensation that after I exhale I cannot or have trouble in getting my next breath. When this happens my heart starts racing and then I have heart pain. I am going to have a sleep study but this happens when I am awake also. Do you have any answers for this? I have heart disease and a pacemaker.
