Hi, I've been diagnosed for about 6 months now and am on 125mg levo. I was tested at the gym and found to have a resting blood pressure of 198/140 and pulse 105 back at the gp's having got stressed and marched there (about 35 minutes) it was back down to 130/90 pulse 75 does anyone understand why it spikes and whether its anything to do with hypo. I am not over medicated and still suffer a great deal of my original symptoms including weight gain and fatigue. Currently take 5mg ramipril for bp but if I take any more I suffer fainting fits, any clues anyone?

The correct dose of thyroid treatment, (maybe natural desiccated would be best), would bring down your high blood pressure to normal.
Thanks for the responses, really appreciate it. My gp won't consider changing my meds as he is unsure of the cause, I believe that correct thyroid meds would help but I have no idea how to battle for them and just asking gets me nowhere. How do I go about getting the help I need? Once again thanks
