Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that anxiety is the most common cause of palpitations and high heart rate and HR 150 bpm needs evaluation and is recommended for you to get ECG and echocardiography done and consult your physician for proper treatment.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
