I have been on synthroid for 14 years with my current dose at 125 mg and two weeks ago, my blood pressure was running 165/110 with some chest discomfort. My doctors ran a stress test which was normal but I think my high blood pressure is related to my hypothyroidism. My doctors say no, but I don't have any other answer to explain the spike in my pressure. What do you think?
