Lately Having More Hypothyroid Problems And Inconsistent BP. Are The Two Drugs Losartan And Levothyroxine Reacting?
I have been on 50MG of Losartan since May 2013 because my BP shot up over a few months. I also take 0.150MG of Levothyroxine for hypothyroidism. Both meds are 1 tab daily. Lately, I have had more hypothryoid symptoms and my BP is very inconsistent. A doctor's visit is coming up soon and I would like to know if a change of prescription would be something to ask about. Also, is there a chance that the 2 drugs are interacting? I do not sleep well and my body temp is haywire but not all the time. I am 73 and the GP says I need to watch my weight @ 5'4" & 175 lbs. I need some guidance for this next visit. Thank you.
