What Is The Treatment For Thyroid And High Blood Pressure?
my mother-in-law is in a hospice center in her final days. they continue to give her medication for her thyroid and for high blood pressure, as she took that daily before she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. I am not so sure she really needed any of that medication any longer, she has not been tested in some time. is it really necessary for her to be taking it in her last days?
