You had to have added bromine.
That is not necessarily true. I have only put tap water, shock and chlorine tabs in a floater and my bromine readings are off the chart.
You added chlorine at presumably the correct rate for the make of disinfectant and your pool's water volume - but brominereadings too high? Test for chlorine instead: I don't know the relative sensitivities of either meters or reagents to chlorine & bromine, but you can't expect sensible answers if you read the wrong chemical.
You don't specify the shock chemical so that may be the culprit, but it should soon break down.
Assuming you have a bromine delivery system such as a floater or feeder and you have tablets in the floater, as bromine dissolves the concentration gets higher in the water. Turn the delivery system down or off until the level drops into the acceptable range.
Yes the only way to get the bromine level down is by getting in. You just dont want to get it right after you have used the bromine powder. If you are using a bromine floater with tablets and its getting too high all the time switch the setting on the floater to less hole opening. I also recommend while using the floater in a hot tub is to take it out while using the hottub as it gets in the way. Espacially if its a high level so that it can come down.
If a spa bromine test turns orange, it usually indicates a high level of bromine in the water. This may be due to over-dosing the spa with bromine tablets or shock treatment. It is recommended to stop adding bromine until the levels return to normal and ensure proper water circulation and filtration to help lower the bromine levels.
Healthy kidneys cause a high GFR level.

Swimming with high bromine levels in a pool can cause skin and eye irritation, as well as respiratory issues. It's important to maintain proper bromine levels in the recommended range for safe swimming conditions. If bromine levels are too high, you should avoid swimming until they are back to normal.
Low bromine levels in a pool can be caused by factors such as sunlight exposure, high water temperature, heavy pool usage, or imbalanced pH levels. It is important to regularly test and adjust the bromine levels in the pool to ensure that it remains effective in sanitizing the water.
Question needs clarification- high levels of what?
Yes , it certainly is! If a drop of liquid bromine gets on your skin, it will immediately form an ulcer that will not heal, will spread, and requires urgent medical attention. Bromine vapour is also extremely hazardous! That is the answer for the simple substance elemental dibromine. The element bromine, as expressed in bromide salts, is somewhat more controversial. The mainstream consensus is that there is a certain level -- a very low level -- below which it is harmless, and possibly even essential. The alternative view is that any level of bromide at all is harmful. Certainly it is quite toxic at medium to high levels.
To lower high bromine levels in a pool, you can dilute the water by adding fresh water. Running the pool pump and filter system for an extended period can also help remove excess bromine. Additionally, using a bromine neutralizer or shock treatment specifically designed for lowering bromine levels can be effective.
If bromine levels in a spa are too high, you can lower them by adding a bromine reducer or diluting the water with fresh water. You can also turn off the bromine feeder and run the spa without adding any more bromine for a few days to let the levels naturally decrease. Regularly test the water to monitor the bromine levels until they are within the appropriate range.
A high pH level is typically caused by substances that are basic or alkaline in nature. Common sources include certain cleaning products, soaps, and chemical additives in water. Overuse of alkaline substances or a decrease in acidic compounds can lead to an increase in pH levels.
