I've had hypertension 140-150-160/90 for a while and I received treatment (Atacand 16mg)from a cardiologist, but I have the impression that the medicine interacts with my hormone level, as if it puts me in a hypo state. I take it in the morning 2 hours after the hormone dose(112 t4 and 6t3), as if my skin becomes dry, I feel tired, etc...my cholesterol levels are ok otherwise. I am a 50 year old male hypo after RAI ablation 10 yrs ago.
Does anyone have experience with being hypo and having high blood pressure?

I have hypertension and am hypo. I was given Amlodipine which I was told to take at bedtime (I take my thyroid hormone replacement around 4am) and all was fine. I've now been changed to a betablocker which also lowers BP (Bisoprolol) which I take around 8am. Neither of these affected my thyroid levels.
Have you tested to check your thyroid levels and compared them to pre-BP medication?
I started with higher BP last year and was prescribed BP medication which didn't agree with me I then went online and found a natural Hawthorn Extract which I have been taking two a day for 9 months now and my BP is back to around 118/78. I read that in Germany even the GP's prescribe the Hawthorn it's been in used for over 100 years now. I take one at breakfast and another one at teatime. In France where I live they don't do natural it interferes with the Big Parma as in the US but in Germany they are more health aware with taking Naturals.

Does hypothyroidism cause high or low blood pressure?
