Is It Safe To Miss Medication For Thyroid Disorder And High BP For Long Periods?
Hi, I have a lot of obesity meds that I take like for HBP, Thyroids, diabetes and cholesterol. I lost my job and was unable to pay for them so now I m back at work waiting for insurance to assistant with the cost of these meds. It s been about a year. Did I do any damage to my body without taking meds for so long?

Hello,
These chronic disorders can damage your blood vessels, kidneys and brain if not treated for a long time. So, I would strongly recommend you to take the medication for such diseases even without the insurance.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
