I am also facing the same issue, my saliva glands swell, my BP is high 130/100 and I get boils under my chin, i take 62.5 mg
OMG, please read my post under, finally went to an endocrologist. my blood pressure was always low, 100/60 or so. suddenly this year its now 168/98!!! this is another symptom i have had. i was wondering if high blood pressure was a thyroid issue, my colesterol also skyrocketed to just under 300!! my dr, wants to put me on blood pressure med, and colestrerol med. I want to find out why this is happening before i do that. for years, years!!! i have had extremely low pressure, wouldnt you thing he would wonder why i have gone up so drastily, my weight has jumped also. i hope someone answers my previous post from mimisandy
From what my Endo told me Yes it is. I was refering to you labs for thyroid. Prior to putting you on Thyroid meds. FTB4
My last blood work was in february it was fine. My medication level is .75 mcg of levothyroxine once daily. Is high blood pressure a commom side effect of being hypothyroid?
Did he do any Blood work? What were your lab results, if you can post them here, members can explain them to you. If your MD told you that High Blood Pressure is not caused by Thyroid, he is mistaken. There are many causes for HBP and Thyroid problems is one of them. High Cholesterol is also caused by Thyroid. I would try to find an Endocrinologist who is familiar with thyroid problems, and again post your labs here. Good Luck FTB4
