Brief Answer:
Please provide more information, it requires detailed evaluation.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
I appreciate your concern
150/84 blood pressure warrants detailed evaluation and monitoring to rule out any underlying cause for high blood pressure and to eliminate the stress or anxiety induced high BP

Here i would like further information to guide you better
Relevant medical history like weight height and history of diabetes
Do you have family history of high blood pressure?

I would advise you for serial monitoring and recording of blood pressure twice daily for at least 3 to 5 days.
If it has come down to normal after taking mind relaxing medicine than it could be related to stress only.

You should take low salt diet and low fat diet.
you should exercise regularly as much you can comfortably do.

Please write back to me if anything is not clear or you have further questions

Best wishes
