Im really worried because I can feel my heart rate is really high and fast, even when I'm just resting. Its been at 94-95 bpm since this afternoon, and I'm not sure why.

Given the situation, it's essential to take precautions. Consult a doctor immediately, as cat scratchesbites can transmit rabies and tetanus. Even without visible wounds or symptoms, it's crucial to consider post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies. Tetanus injection is recommended, especially since your last booster was in 2016. Antirabies injection might be necessary, depending on the doctor's assessment. Don't delay; seek attention within 24-48 hours.
