Synthroid, Cytomel & Calcitiol vs High Blood Pressure

I have been on a regime of Synthroid, Cytomel (T3) and Calcitriol for 18 months.
Blood assays have been in the correct range for the past 14 months.
No recurrence of any tumors
During the past six months I have been experiencing high blood pressure and two TIA's (mini strokes).

Is it possible that my supplement program could be elevating my blood pressure?

Is Calcitriol vitamin D? Or am I getting that confused with something else?

Yes, too much T4 or T3 drugs could do this. I don't know about Calcitriol. What are your most recent lab levels on FT4/FT3/TSH?
