Hi there
its my pleasure to answer your query, after taking a look at your given readings, yes your heart rate is high but your bp is in normal limits. To diagnose your condition as a CHF you need to undergo a general physical examination and after that an echocardiography to look at at your LV function. Answer to your question is yes its ok to wait till monday but till then you should not indulge yourself in sternous physical activities as that can further increase your heart rate that can make you feel dizzy and uncomfortable.
Good Luck
