I am on 50 a day of thyroxine plus half a tablet of t3, waiting on latest results. Can too much thyroxine cause low blood pressure. Just wondered if anybody could advise. Thanks.

I think it is more likely that too little Levo might cause low blood pressure.

As far as I am aware, low BP is a symptom of either being under replaced or adrenal fatigue or a combination of the two. What’s your resting heart rate?x

looking at previous posts

You are currently on 50mcg Levo daily and 2 x 5mcg T3

Last 5mcg dose T3 should be 8-12 hours before test

Last dose levothyroxine 24 hours before test

Please add most recent Ft4 and Ft3 results and ranges

What are most recent vitamin D, folate, B12 and ferritin levels
