synthroid

646105 tn?1223653476 after three months. They switched me Synthroid which also produces high blood pressure and a rash. We are currently attempting to wean me off Synthroid and I want to try KELP (iodine) and after a bit introduce L-tyrosine which promotes the production of T3 while the iodine is more T4 related. I am tracking my own blood pressure three times a day and I watch my blood pressure spike about 2-3 hours after taking the Synthroid and go to normal/low by late in the day.
Avatar m tn Hyperthyroidism is a cause of high blood pressure and high pulse pressure. Pulse pressure is the difference between the systolic and diastolic pressure readings and is normally around 40mmHg. Eg: 120/80 = 40. Your pulse pressure for your reading of 163/94 = 69 mmHg.

Avatar f tn 2wks tomorrow since surgery and still have tingle in feet and hands,and blood pressure still not going down,was 146/97 today. I just dont understand to be like 97/72 up till i fall asleep for surgery and to wake up this high,and stay that way. Dr says he dont know what to do next,what it could be. I know this cant be good to go on now with this high of blood pressure and nothing done about it. I dont know where to turn to next.
197575 tn?1215532624 I looked at my labs from my preop. EKG and my blood pressure was 110/70 which is usually my normal pressure. More medicine. Yay!

Avatar m tn m sure you have an idea of what they are, I was put on Propranolol 20 mg for high blood pressure but have done research and found that a low thyroid function can cause high blood pressure that is hard to regulate with medication. Explain to me high TSH and if medication dosage needs to be raised or lowered, and also is Levoxil a good medication or would synthroid be better, I have taken both and thought that sythroid helped more than levoxil.
Avatar n tn Since surgery I am struggling with low blood pressure 110/70 and high pulse rate between 90-100 beats per minute daily. Even when rising in the morning my pulse is at 90 or above. Is there cause for concern or is my body adjusting after surgery?

1346429 tn?1303874854 I can no longer take my heart meds for high blood pressure and irregular hb; topomax for migraines; metaphormin; and a few others. Which I quit taking some of my meds before pregnancy because I did a lifestyle change in which it helped enough that I could quit taking the extra meds. As far as C-section...both my boys were early but big because of the diabetes (not gestational) and I could not have them natually so this is another C-section baby.
Avatar n tn Blood pressure was high for me, It's usually 115/80 ish it was 140/97 in hopsital, but went down and unchanging with standing etc. My thyroid levels are: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) 1.45 Thyroxine (T4), Free - Serum 0.8 Triiodothyronine (T3) Free - Serum 2.79 - May 17, 2011 thank you!
Avatar n tn You have to ask yourself.. which is better, high blood pressure and cold hands or warm hands and low blood pressure. On the meds I had several bp events to 220/116 not worth it in my mind....
1128565 tn?1316721143 I am on T4 med alone and my already high blood pressure is even higher since i had a TT and have been on synthroid. I do not know too much about T3 Med's so maybe someone who does can respond.
Avatar n tn I have been Hypo for years and just like you my dosage of Synthroid was increased as I aged. Last year my cholesterol was high, doctor gave me a diet to follow and I was told to come back in 3 months. I was already eating semi-healthy and exercising everyday. In 3 months cholesterol still high. Doctor put me on Niaspan/Niacin. It worked, my cholesterol is down. But when doctor found nodule on thyroid in January, she told me my BP was high.
787406 tn?1339203183 Other causes of raised levels of plasma catecholamines include hypoglycemia, stress, various drugs including thyroid hormone supplements, methyldopa, dopamine agonists etc. Pheochromocytoma is associated with a high blood pressure. The symptoms you have described can occur in states of thyroid hormone excess too.
Avatar f tn Long story short, My mother has developed high systolic blood pressure (the other number is in normal range) and has very frequent Migraines. The doctor put her on a betta blocker which has done nothing for her. My mother has talked to her Dr about it, the Dr has lowered her dosage some, but I still have a feeling there is a connection. My mother had also complained about feeling on edge or like she couldn't sit still.
Avatar m tn These meds caused my high blood pressure and the THYROID med also gave me high blood sugar that went away after reducing the med. I am curdrently on 75 mcg of Synthroid...was on 100 mcg until last week. My blood pressure has dropped from 175/102 to 128/75 in the first few days of reduction. Amazing.
Avatar n tn s and have been on Synthroid 50 mcg for three months now. I have recently gotten a home blood pressure monitor to keep a check on my blood pressure. I was always pretty normal in that area - about 120/80 at the drs. office. Pretty often when I check my bp it's low. This morning it was 88/66. I have checked it when going from a prone position to standing and it goes up, not down. Could the low bp be from the Hashimoto's? If so, shouldn't it be getting better?
1455892 tn?1285349618 I changed from levoxly to Armour because I too was having tremmors in my stomach really weird feeling, plus my feet were roasting and sweating or one foot and leg would be real cold and the other normal and and then I was haveing jerking leg, at night my leg would just twitch big time, . And the list goes on.
Avatar m tn Taking thyroxine a few hours before having labs done is one possible cause of high TSH and high free T4.
Avatar m tn Careful going off atavan...i had blood pressure issues when i stopped it (high).
Avatar f tn I had high blood pressure for many years before being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism. However, the periods when I have been overmedicated with Levothyroxine my blood pressure has gone out of control. Last January my blood pressure started spiking and my heart was racing and my Endo lowered my dosage of Levo. Then about a month ago it happened again and it has been lowered again. Is it possible that your dosage of thyroid medication is too strong? You might mention this to your doctor.
Avatar n tn I am an 84 year old woman w/history of high blood pressure for the past 15 years. I have been treated w/numerous types of medication and my doctor has determined that the only drug that has stabilized my pressure to be 145/80 on average. Recent test now show a 167/80 to 185/80 range and my doctor has increased my previous 2 1/2mg. X 2 a day perscription to 5mg. X 2. After three days of new tx. I have had heavy palpatations and feeling uncomfortably warm in the early 3a.m. to 5 a.m.
Avatar n tn m having a heart attack, I get winded even in the shower I have no sex drive and wake up tired. I had my TSH levels checked and they were 4.92, I have high blood pressure and was put on 20MG of Propranolol. I have cronic constipation and in order to have a movement I have to take something. I see on this forum that people are taking Armour what is that? I take 112 MG of Levoxill. I have to wait another three weeks before my doctor is avaliable to have my thyroid medication raised or lowered.
