Avatar m tn There are several reasons for your erectile issues, including the hypothyroidism(which contrbutes quite a bit), possible side effects from the blood pressure agents, side effects of having high blood pressure in the first place, and even the possibility of a low testosterone(which should be checked). Speak with your doctor about increasing your thyroid dose, possible side effects of your blood pressure agents and getting your blood pressure down, and also testing your testosterone levels.
Avatar f tn But this week my weight started shooting up again my stomach is bloated and I am getting headaches and feeling very dizzy . I checked my blood pressure in cvs and it came to 140/100 which i understand is stage 1 hypertension. I haven't had hypertension before. Is his bcoz of levothyroxine ? I have my next appointment only in June. Will it be advisable to check with my doctor before that.
Avatar f tn I was just wondering if anyone else noticed an increase in their blood pressure after going on thyroid hormone replacement. Since I was a teenager I have had low blood pressure- ranging from 90/50 to 100/60 max. Every dr. appointment I have had since starting on NatureThroid my pressure is in the 120s over 70s range. Never in my life has my blood pressure been close to that. In fact my PCP in the past has told me to increase my salt intake to try to get my pressure up.
Avatar m tn My medication level is .75 mcg of levothyroxine once daily. Is high blood pressure a commom side effect of being hypothyroid?
Avatar n tn Have been on levothyroxine for these past 25 years. Recent heart rate seems to be very low (45). I have high blood pressure and take medication for this. I also had breast cancer three years ago and take tamoxifen. My recent TSH level came back at .1 Shoudl an adjustment of the levothyroxine take care of this?
Avatar f tn i also left off that my cholesterol has skyrocked and so has my blood pressure (always had low low pressure) my husbands numbers have all gotten better while i contimue to get worse. i have read that low blood pressure is for hypothyroidism, i have every other symptom except the blood pressure. whats with that?
894666 tn?1274097896 Most definitely. I was increased from 50 mcg. to 100 mcg. and my blood pressure went nuts. I also started having the chest pain, shakiness, headaches, anxiety, etc. Basically I went from hypo to hyper. I'm back on 50 now and still exercising and losing weight and now the 50 is starting to make me hyper as well. Going to call my endo back next week and see what to do. Good luck.
390388 tn?1279636213 I'm assuming you are on a Beta Blocker for the blood pressure. As I understand it, coming off these drugs suddenly (as when you miss a dose) can cause a bounce in blood pressure and heart rate. I know that if I delay taking my Sotalol for any reason, which I take twice daily, or if I eat too soon after taking it (which reduces absorption), I start to feel very odd as the drug levels start depleting in my system. I feel fidgety and restless and my heart rate increases.
Avatar m tn Finally, I stopped all medication the first of this year, except my blood pressure medicine and Cymbalta. I found a new internal medicine physician that would take me. After visiting with him, he ordered a boat load of blood tests, plus a 24 hour urine sample, and I had a sonogram of my thyroid. I do not know what is wrong with me, but the excessive sweating and the starting of thyroid medicine has ruined my life up to this point. I was a H.S.
Avatar f tn I have well controlled blood pressure (with metoprolol and HCTZ). I am so anxious about this but also realize that heart problems can be caused by hypothyroidism....catch 22. Hope I get a response from this inquiry from someone.
Avatar f tn 6 sometimes even a bit lower but 2-3 hours after taking the thyroid medication I am getting chills and low grade fever that is usually between 99 - 99.8 and it lasts pretty much all day. I also have and increased blood pressure during the day 132/74 with heart rate 89. Could this be because I am taking too much thyroid hormone? Or is it something much worse? Has anyone experience temps like this while on Levothyroxine?
Avatar f tn I have hyprothyroid and low vitamin D and I take levothyroxine 100mg, vitamin d 50,000 icu, and he still told me to continue the oscal and I have gained 30 pounds in the last 3yrs and my stomach is bloated one day and gone the next. I am always extremely tired, I have to force myself out of bed every morning. Is there anything my doctor maybe missing. My hands swell and look puffy sometimes, but I do not have high blood pressure.
Avatar f tn my heart rate and blood pressure.. while i was on the Levothyroxine, was low low low... BP was averaging 95/57, and HR was in the low 50's....when i would get up.. it would sky rocket into the 90s now i seem to be getting better... and believe me. i know that Levothyroxine has saved countless lives!! I am just like.. UGH. my BP is 114/68 today.. so i think things are getting better.. i still feel profoudly " strange, in a fog, and very sad" i cant really descrbe it.
415098 tn?1214856836 I was diagnosed with high blood pressure hypertension about 4 months back and im on blood pressure medicine which keeps my levels controlled but i still always feel like im not in this world,im always light headed, and i have a hard time breathing alot of the time.
Avatar m tn My lab results are suggestive of hypothyroidism. My blood pressure is high (130/ 95), but I don't have other symptom of hypothyroidism. I am 34 yrs male and my weight is 70 Kg. My lab results are: TSH - 6.17 (0.5-5.0) T4(free) - 0.87 (0.58- 1.64) TPO antibody - 314.9 (0-34) THY antibody - 47.8 (Increased) My doctor has suggested me to start Levothyroxine sodium tab (112 mcg). What you think, whether I have hoshimoto disease? should I take this medicine?
Avatar m tn My thyroid was removed in August 2020 and I stated using levothyroxine. In 2020 I took my Iodine, serum plasma test and it was 86 mcg/L with range 52-109. Last week I took it again and it was 57 mcg/L. A month ago i started taking Armour thyroid 90 mcg because 88 mcg of Synthroid would give me a very low free T3 and good free T4. My free T3 last week was 3.3 pg/mL with a range of 2-3-4.2 My free T4 was 1.0 ng/dL with a range of 0.8-1.8. Thank you!
Avatar m tn i have had high blood pressure and have been taking 10 mg of lisinopril for a year as prescribed by my cardiologist... she has done an EKG and an arenal doppler test... everything showed up normal... past few months i have experienced dizziness and shortness of breath... when i take my BP at night it shows my heart rate is in the 40's.. the other night it read 41 bpm... i have just started taking levothyroxine for my hypothryoidism...
Avatar f tn I then began having symptoms with occassional heart palpitations, low blood pressure 100/60, and dizziness. I started taking 1 whole pill and the heart palpitations went away completely. Just had labs done. Results are: THS .45 ; T3, Total 103 ; Free T4 1.5. Do you think I am on the right meds? And is low BP and dizziness a symptom.
