Can I Reduce The Thyronorm Dosage After High BP Levels Due To Medicines?

I have undergone complete thyroidectomy in 2002 ... and am under thyronorm 200 mcg. Recently I started checking my Blood Pressure and was ranging between 150/110, for a check I stopped thyronorm for 5 days ... my blood pressure dropped and was in normal range. Now I have started taking 150 mcg ... is that ok

Hello,
Good day.
We would like to know the reason for Thyroidectomy and what was the biopsy reports. This will guide us to decide the correct dose,
In excess dose, Thyronorm can cause rise in Blood pressure. However, dose adjustment is not made based on BP levels, but on the basis of TSH levels. For now, continue 150 mcg and Please check your Free T4 and TSH after 6 weeks and write back to us. ( do not do the test now, but wait for 6 weeks, as you have recently changed the dose). We will be able to help you adjusting the dose based on TSH results
