I Have High Resting Heart Rate

I'm a 37, 6ft, 215lbs. During a my annual physical last year I found out that I have boarderline high blood pressure (120/84) and high cholesterol. Over the last year I have noticed that my legs tend to fall asleep more frequently then ever in the past. One year ago my resting heart rate was always near 90. Recently it is always between 100-110. I ride a recumbent bike and use an elliptical. During exercise my heart rate reaches 150-160. I have a routine physical scheduled for Feb 27. Do I need to see a Dr. before my appointment

The rest of the condition are pathological.. It is not  a bad idea to consult a doctor before the routine physical check up...
