poor sleep & ME/CfS, arthritis = hypertension

[Nat107]

hi I have quite a few debilitating health issues, underactive thyroid also including life changing and frustrating ME/CFS and also fibromyalgia and arthritis. My sleep pattern is really poor my sleep is never refreshing and I wake up near enough every hour, due to either excruciating pain in my muscles, my knee locking due to arthritis and cramp and other knee issue after a cartilage operation. I have recently been diagnosed with high blood pressure which I’m not happy about as before ME took me out I was always at the gym and very active with a low pulse and good blood pressure results.

Has anyone with similar conditions found their blood pressure increased due to other health problems which now means taking hypertension medication. Thank you

Treatment weekly methyl b12 injections ,folate ,active BComplex,magnesium,vit C ,CoQ10 , Salmon oil,vit D .I have sleep apnoea machine now 6 yrs.Had Ct scan after Pacemaker this year & would you believe contrast iodine has triggered high blood pressure & hyperthyroidism.I was taking tritace but couldn’t tolerate it.So now on Hawthorn & Garlic & onion from Neolife which has brought it down to 130 ,140s

Thank you for reply, I wake with sore throat every day so not sure if I have sleep apnea too, but that’s really interesting regarding the contrast in the blood for act scan triggering high blood pressure as I have had a few Ct scans with contrast so possibly same. wondering if that could have caused mine, I already am hypothyroid
