Can Increase In BP Cause Development Of Goitre?
I am 38 with high blood pressure in the past 2 months. Current meds of lopresser 100mg vitamin D 6000 Prozac 20mg, 325mg of iron daily. All labs perfect except thyroid, but endo Dr does not want to treat. Average bp of 165/98-64. I could lose at least 20lbs, I am very active and eat balanced. I think my all of a sudden elevation of BP is thyroid related. My goiter in my neck is getting bigger

Hello,
Raise blood pressure does not cause goiter, on the contrary, thyroid dysfunction may cause raised blood pressure. As for as your goiter is a concern it occurs due to Iodine deficiency in your food.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. RS Gulati
