Thnx ## With your symptoms, you sound like you may be suffering hyperparathyroidism. You should get a calcium level along with a PTH level. Have you had surgery to remove one or more of the parathyroids. You have a total of 4 parathyroids and one or more could have turned into benign tumors (adenomas). If you're still having symptoms then there is still something wrong.

I had a heart attack and stent a couple of years ago. I'm on aspirin, bisoprolol, atorvastatin and ramipril. I also take levothyroxine each morning. I have been feeling very tired and my blood pressure is very low, typically about 100 (or less) over 50 ish. With my drs agreement my dose of ramipril has been reduced to 5mg per day from 10mg. I take one in the morning and one at night. My blood pressure has increased slightly and seem steadier (although I had a reading of 98 over 47 yesterday) and I'm probably not as tired, although its hard to tell. My question concerns whether it is better to have the higher dose for prevention and put up with low blood pressure, or to have the lower dose and be at more risk! I don't know what is best and my dr seems to be leaving that decis...

I have a tiny white pill, just off white, really, but you could call it white. It's just a little bigger than a birth control pill. One side appears to be completely blank. The other side appears to have a Roman letter capital A that covers most of the pill. In the open underside of the A there appears to be a lower case i. Below that there appears to be a very small capital T and D, separated by a slight space. There is a remote possibility that the A is a V, but then the TD is at the top and printed upside down. ## The marking is ATD, what you thought was an I is a stylized logo of a mortar and pestle. This tablet contains 19mgs of Levothyroxine and 4.5mgs of Liothyronine, commonly sold under the brand name Armour Thyroid. These are Thyroid hormones.
