Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
1) No - It is not normal to have a heart rate above hundred / that too after a nap.
You need investigations to find out and treat appropriately.
2) Yes - you must see go and a doctor
Early diagnosis ensures better management.
3) Yes - a tetanus shot is a must.
No injury should be left without protection. Prevention is better than cure... Better be safe than sorry
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
