    Yes, your heart could be normal and everything could check out but you could be tested for sleep apnea: Sleep Apnea - symptoms, causes, and treatment of central and obstructive sleep apnea on MedicineNet.com. I can understand how your blood pressure would increase if your breathing were interrupted during sleep by apnea.

    Doing deep breathing exercises (pranayama-yoga) is excellent, but don't see how that would help you during sleep. Because your body is losing the ability to breath in sleep, your blood pressure would climb owing to your heart having to work harder to keep your lungs working.

    Just my opinion and food for thought. I am not diagnosing your condition just offering suggestions for consideration.
