| Re: do thyroid meds raise blood pressure?
I just recently went hyper on synthroid, and I too always have low blood pressure, but mine did increase to around 120/80 and it's usually 110/70(it was taken at my yearly gyn appt. one week before I found out I was over medicated). My pulse also increased to high 90's.
I want to add that I was having hyper symptoms (confirmed by low tsh and over range t4 levels) but didn't know it. I actually thought I needed a dose increase because I had many symptoms that I had when my tsh was 8! This is so confusing isn't it! I don't know how long ago your last blood test was, but you may want to have your levels checked again, just to be sure. Good Luck
