hypothyroid and now hypertension
by giggy321, Feb 28, 2009 07:21AM
I am a 44 year old white male and after a recent physical (dec. 2008) it was determined that i am hypothyroid, and now being treated with levothyroxine 25mcg. after normal blood pressure it is now in the hypertension zones 152sys. over 105dis. to make a long story short i am now on 40 mg. lisinopril, with 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide, and 10 mg. pravastatinsodium to combat the hypertension and the higher than normal cholesterol reading. As of today my tsh level is normal but my blood pressure is still up in same high area,it hasnt changed and i still feel jittery, and jumpy. any input on why the treatment is not taking effect. thank you

High bp & meds, should be evaluated by your doctor, maybe you need a medication adjustment or change.
Also not all medications works for everyone, I took lisinopil, and my bp didn't drop, and I coughed up a storm, then changed to Avapro, bp stablizied, coughing stopped.
Good luck !!
