Thyroid Meds And High Blood Pressure
(Newest replies first)

Updated

My drug store has switched my thyroid manufacturer from Mylan to Lanne. Since taking the same dosage of 88 mcg, my blood pressure has gone up considerably and I don't normally have high blood pressure. I have some of the older ones and have taken them for the last 3 days and my bp is back to normal. Is this just a coincidence or should I talk to the drug store? I also feel jittery in the neck area. I had the radio active iodine treatment 3 years ago. I feel like my thyroid is out of wack again. I don't have an appointment with my endocrinologist for 3 more months.

Linda, it might be best to call and make an appointment sooner, rather than waiting 3 months. Unfortunately, there is no way anyone online can definitively answer your questions, since that will require a physical exam and testing.

Are you on any other medications? How high was your blood pressure? Do you check it frequently?

Precious, it is hard to say, many people with thyroid disorders tend to gain weight, but not an extreme amount. As to whether or not you will be cleared for surgery, that really depends on the doctor and what stability the require for your overall health. Is it an elective surgery, or necessary?

You can read more about your thyroid and some of the issues it can cause here on this page.

Are either of you on any other medications?
