Hello perpes,
Increased heart rate and blood pressure at night do not necessarily indicate any significant problem with your heart. Your heart rate is constantly changing depending upon the level and type of mental and physical activity you are undertaking. Dreams and nightmares can cause an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, as can anxiety or restlessness.
To properly answer your question would rely on accurate measurement of both your heart rate and blood pressure. If you have the ability to do this at home I would recommend that you keep a record over 1 week and then review the results with your doctor.
Warning symptoms that require early review with your doctor include associated chest pain, unexplained shortness of breath, and transient changes in vision / strength / sensation.
