The symptoms you have described—poor sleep, disturbing dreams, heaviness in the head, negative thoughts on waking up, fearfulness, chest discomfort, and headache—can occur due to anxiety, depression, stress-related disorders, or sometimes as side effects of psychiatric medications.
However, since you are already taking treatment from a psychiatrist and are still experiencing significant symptoms, it would be advisable to review your current medications and dosage with your doctor.
Lack of proper sleep itself can cause headaches, a heavy-headed feeling, fatigue, and worsening negative thoughts. If the chest pain is severe, associated with breathlessness, sweating, or radiating pain, seek immediate medical evaluation.
Please do not stop any psychiatric medication on your own. Maintain a regular sleep schedule, avoid caffeine and screen exposure before bedtime, and consult me for reassessment of your treatment.

Hii .. I can understand what you are going through.
Your symptoms may be related to anxiety, poor sleep, stress, medication side effects, or underlying depression. Headache, body pain, bad dreams, chest discomfort, and fear that “something is wrong” are commonly seen when anxiety and sleep are disturbed, but physical causes should also be ruled out if symptoms are persistent.
Next Steps
Consult your psychiatrist/physician for review of current medications, sleep pattern, and physical symptoms. Do not stop psychiatric medicines suddenly on your own. If needed, your doctor may adjust medicines or evaluate for migraine, tension headache, vitamin deficiency, thyroid issues, or stress-related symptoms.
Health Tips
Maintain regular sleep timing and avoid late-night screen exposure.
Practice relaxation and breathing exercises before sleep.
Avoid over-monitoring symptoms or repeatedly searching online, as it can worsen anxiety.
Stay hydrated, eat regularly, and include light physical activity.
Seek urgent medical care if severe chest pain, weakness, seizures, high fever, confusion, or suicidal thoughts occur.
