Kind of a coincidence I found this out but my friend is in school to be a nurse and she was practicing taking vitals on me. She got really alarmed when she was listening to my heart and got her husband who is a doctor to listen as well and he agreed with her. They put a pulse oximeter on me and my resting heart-rate was 148 and I haven’t had any caffeine or  strenuous movement at all. They told me to make a appointment with a cardiologist ASAP and to even go to the ER but the wait-time was sitting at 10 hours. 

I am a fit 20 year-old female I’m 5’4 125lbs. I have no family history of hypertension or heart disease or anything and I eat really clean and healthy. The only thing I can think of is stress and anxiety since I lived in a really toxic + abusive environment for a couple of years and still haven’t fully recovered. Is that enough to cause such a huge spike in my heart-rate? Has anyone else experienced anything similar?
