A member asked:
Cardiologist says i should go off my thyroid meds because he said it will lower my pressure. is this common for others?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pressure?: There must be more to the story. If your thyroid function is too low, then you need to treat your thyroid in some way. Maybe you are over treated? I'm sure your cardiologist would not just stop your thyroid treatment without a solid reason. I would recommend you talk to the doctor who prescribed the thyroid medicine in addition to your cardiologist.
