Hi I'm new to the forum and would like to introduce myself. I live in the UK. I'm just in the process of being referred to a specialist for further investigation for Hyperthyroidism. This has resulted in a recent blood test which resulted in (I think) raised levels of T3 or T4 (the hormone that causes an over-active thyroid). However many of my symptoms seem to coincide with taking Losartan which is known as angiotensin-II (blood pressure medication). Another thought is that One side effect of Losartan is that it can cause anaemia which I understand has similar symptoms to thryriodism. I have mentioned this to my GP but he was dismissive. If anyone has had any similar issues taking Angiotensin II drugs Id be very interested to know.
