No: It's normal to hear your heart beat at night while sleeping. White noise may help. No correlation with hbp. Check your bp. Should be less than 130/85.

I get strong head pressure when lying down to go to sleep. It feels as if blood is rushing to my head and stays there. Strong heart beat as well.
