80 bpm raised to 150 for exercise

This is a followup on my previous post: I am 55 yr old male w/3.5 week old PM, and my heart rate was limited to 80-85 during exercise. I had my PM adjusted today and my HR now plateaus at 145-150 during moderate exercise, which is much more comfortable. Thanks to all for advice, and for letting me know an adjustment might be warranted.

I am still concerned since the 150 bpm heart rate was essentially for a jogging pace workout (no hard breathing, 11 cal/min Precor elliptical). The tech put the the PM upper end at 150 which seemed to be the max setting, and where my PR is plateauing. PR did not increase with more resistance. I am wondering if this means I will have a permanent exercise limitation.
