Cardiac Symptoms?

I'm a 50yr old 6'2 302lbs with sleep apnea.

I wake up nightly with my heart racing & palpitations and anxiety like feelings.
I wear the cpap but it doesn't help. (I'm still working with the dr. On the matter)

As of the last few days i been feeling weird light-headed, dizziness, slight headaches sometimes it seems brought  on by activity sometimes not. Sometimes  feelings of anxiety outta nowhere. I can  still be active no shortness of breath no weakness. I've had a echocardiogram with in the last 12 months EF was normal 70% if remember correctly. My heart is moderately thickened.

My question could these symptoms be cardiac in nature?  Do they present like this?
