hi
i went to the a new doctor today, and internist, she gave my syznthroid she seems to think that the tapazole made my thyroid go to hypo now. she gave me the script and told me to come back in 4 weeks she also took blood, she said when i come back in 4 weeks that she will send me to an endo. she also said i have high blood pressure and that kind of surprises me cause my blood pressure seemed ok about 5 weeks ago.
so not sure i want to take high blood pressue meds too.
thank you everyone.

Hi Teri,


It sounds as though your new doctor is starting out on top of things.

Hi Teri, I'm glad your PC is turning you over to an endo for this particular problem. I don't understand why the bp went so high, but different people react differently to some medications, and this could be just the thing that will happen to you. I think the endo will put you through more thorough testing as far as the thyroid is concerned, and this may be just what you need. Just hang in there, and I'm sure things will get straightened out eventually. Join us again, it was nice chatting with you. Hugs, Bea
