I were in your shoes, I would not see a doc since there's a lack of evidence that anything is wrong. The first thing I thought when I saw your numbers are that you are simply out of shape. Be aware that what constitutes "out of shape" here is different than in the regular world -- I'd apply that description to 90% of riders on any recreational century even though they can obviously ride 100 miles.
How long have you been riding? 2500km is decent, but it's really not that much. Unless you do a lot of other activity that you haven't described here, it sounds like you're normal.
totally ++
you're big, carrying freight
160 bpm is really not that high
if you have other signs of some 'condition' then go see a doc, otherwise
the whole Garmin thing is great fun, and some interesting info but a huge number of really great riders rode without that info.
leave the garmin on, cover it up, go ride... then compare how you felt in sections against the info. most will find the info looks a lot worse than they actually felt...
