I have high BP and take lisinopril, I don't take thyroid meds at the moment but I can't say that I ever noticed any difference when I was prescribed whatever sort of levo the pharmacy got a good deal on. not sure that's any help to you.

Out of curiosity how did you manage to bring your BP down yourself?

How long have you been on 25? It's a very low dose, even for a starter, and could be causing your blood pressure problem. Do you have Hashi's?
