Sure sounds like AD. Have you tried elevating your head and chest? Take something for pain and blood pressure? wrap a towel around your head? Maybe, sit on your commode a few minutes before getting in bed to release gas build up? Just a suggestion. Try pain meds before getting back into bed. Give it time to work. The move into and out of the chair causes me a lot of pain I don't actually feel. My body does, though.

Every night when I lie down my body seems fine for about 30 minutes. Regardless how warm it is, I will be shivering while under a mountain of blankets. I will continue to shiver for several hours until falling asleep around 4:00am. I feel this might have something to do with urinating but no idea what as I have a supra-pubic. A similar period was experienced years ago but included AD. A deposit in my penis removed resolved this for years.

The pressure is also more intense, so a small blockage will be amplified.

It keeps me awake and eventually triggers AD. Can't find the cause and it is wearing me down. It's not a uti.
