Apart from that bp escalates sometimes and as high as 170/100 has been observed and also I get scanty sleep at night . Is it because of thyroid medication.

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you have reported. If you have some other symptoms suggestive of this medication toxicity like palpitations, sweating, rapid heart rate, loose stools, irritable, anxiety, etc, then it would be nice to evaluate this treatment. Also, your doctor may want to step down the dose a little and see if there is any change in the blood pressure, and other reported symptoms. That not withstanding, hypertension is not always caused by drugs but should be considered in your case.

I hope you find this helpful. Thank you so much for using our services and please do feel free to ask for clarifications if need be. I wish you the best of health.
