I have had years of high BP and high HR, with my boss even sending me home for high BP. I have also ended up in A and E with crazy high BP but only recently when the diastolic failed to drop below 100 was I put on BP meds and had a full blood test... only to find I have high antibodies indicative of hyperactive thyroid. T3 and T4 are ok. TSH<0.01
This makes sense to me as I am getting thinner and always 'run hot', stripping off when everyone else has their coats on! However I am relatively healthy and wouldnt be concerned but my heart rate is sitting above 100 at rest and so I have been put on propanolol and taken off amlodipine.
Here is the question though, it says on the box that I should take it once to three times a day. Thats it? how do I decide? The tablets are 40mg. i am worried my BP will rise back up while i work this out.
Has anyone had similar?
My GP has slotted me in for a check up in 3 weeks, but I feel out of my depth. Thanks so much in advance.
