Question: 

Hi dr. tks for service.

I am almost 36fem with 3 children. i try to walk at least 30mins a day but most days i do more. Today i went for a quick power walk in the afternoon.

my pulse when i started was 100 and at some point it reached 149 .I don't know , I got scared . I was feeling perfectly fine and i was even talking on the phone but still maybe it was too much?

Hi Tonia,
Read about heart rate here. If you live an otherwise healthy life style, you're fine and shouldn't worry.
Hope this helps,
Dr T
