Blood pressure and hypo

[Jomarie]

Hi,Happy Easter all....Have been hypo for a few years now but this last year have been diagnosed with high blood

pressure,have been on Bisoprolol 7.5 for the Bp and Levothyroxine 75mcg (was on 100 and 125 until my doc recently dropped my dosage)for my Hypo.....Just lately I have started to feel really shakey,headachy with blurred vision at times ......Its quite scary,I', in my late 60s and have not had probs with the Thyro at all before...I do have an app with my doc in 10 days,thank goodness but am wondering if anyone has had simlar probs when taking the two meds

Have you ever had your vitamin B12, iron, ferritin, vitamin D and folate measured? I felt very ill indeed and my BP was all over the place when I had deficiencies in some of these.

There are alternative treatments for high BP other than beta blockers. You could ask your doctor if you could try something else.

Take a look at the following from the British National Formulary (this is only viewable by people in the UK - it is blocked for anyone outside the country) :

Why did your doctor lower your meds? High BP can be a symptom of under medication.

I saw a different Doctor as mine was on holiday....he thought my headaches and shakes were probably due to being over medicated.........I'm getting so confused with so much conflicting advice......
