Yes,the doctor gave you the Ativan just for this reason. Take it on a prn basis only. Your heart rate is rapid but not considered tachycardic.  You're most likely having anxiety,which is to be expected.  Maybe today the doctor will give you clonidine. It's a B/P med but helps considerably.

Jeff~  This happens during withdrawal. It's good that you got it checked last night.  Is it still around 130?  Sometimes this happens with dehydration(as you know) so be sure to drink.
I'm sure you'll be fine and feel better once you see the doctor.
