Hi I did review your concern
High blood pressure can be due to synthyroid overdose but that is rare. I believe you can get your self evaluated for renal function. the blood pressure can be a new onset problem or may be present for quite sometime. I guess antihypertensive medications can be started in this case straight away as the pressure is remaining very high.
I hope this helps
Wish you all the best
