What meds are you on?
It is normal to get anxiety and a host of other feelings after a heart attack. I certainly did with mine. I would be inclined to ask your consultant/doctor/practice nurse for advice with how to get through it.
Have you tried doing something that normally puts you to sleep like listening to certain music or watching a particular program that you normally sleep through? It doesn’t matter if you spend a night on the sofa but it may just break the no sleep cycle.
