Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hypothyroid, High Heart Rate, Normal BP, Prescribed Lopressor. Will It Further Lower The BP?
I have hypothyroidism , but my resting heartrate has been 125 and 138 at my last two appointments. My blood pressure is always good 118/80. My dr wants to put me on Lopressor. Will this make my blood pressure drop even more? And one more question, if I have hypothroidism shouldn t my heartrate be slow? What would cause this?
hello n welcome ...
usually heart rates should less in cases og UNTREATED hypothyroidism cases. it may more with patient who is under medication, ANXIETY, tension etc.
if ur doctor feels that u need lopressure means there will be some reason, so dont worry, be faith in ur DOCTOR and continue medication.
good luck and wish u a normal thyroid function.
