The resting heart rate vares with a lot of things such a fitness, age, weight, stress ect.
How long have you had a pulse a that rate?
Do you exercise a lot?
Are you on any medication?
What is your bmi?
Can you describe the funny feeling?

You will not waist the doctor's time and sometimes it better to see about it before it get's any worse. L x

It is a good idea to get checked out.
Would you tell a person who couldnt breath not to go the doctors just bcause they where actually still breathing? I doubt it. The doctors wont mind. If you are concerned you should be seen where a few tests can be arranged if nesscary.

If you dont want to go to thedoctors you could also go to your local walk in centre or hospital. Walk in centre would probably be quicker. Or perhaps try ringing NHS direct and see what they advise.

Take care
