Blood pressure issues are not always caused by thyroid levels. I think if they knew the causes and could treat them we would be a lot healthier longer living people.

Would be a good idea to get vitamins tested if they haven't be done for a while. Many people need to take B12 and or folate and you dont mention that you're taking a B complex.

Your FT4 is very low but you haven't said what treatment you are on.

Sorry, I'm a dip aye!

At the moment I'm on Levo 100mg and 20mg T3

I also take 5mg Prednisolone, and 10mg HC spaced out over 3 times a day. 5mg in the morning on waking, 2.5mg around 4-5pm ish and another 2.5mg at bedtime, around 10pm.

sorry this isn’t fully relevant to your post but are you taking HC/pred for adrenals?

Your cortisol is on the low side on your bloods and mine was similiar but i have managed this far with adrenal cortex but suspecting I might need stronger. How are you finding it? X

Yes, im in them for my adrenals. I'm a little more stable now than I was when I was in only HC but I've noticed that since I was ill at Christmas, I'm all over the place again.

hey 😊 Was your blood pressure high before the steroids?

Not that I'm aware, not at a replacement dose that is prescribed for those with adrenal insufficiency, that is usually why those with primary AI are prescribed fludricortisone, to keep their BP up.

Not what you're looking for?
