A member asked:

I hv never had high bp- i am on no meds other than my .25 mg of synthroid, (thyroxine) it has been 167-99to 157-99-a few times it was 117-79--i don't understand?

You need to see: your doctor for an evaluation and possible treatment for hypertension. Also, hopefully you're on 25 micrograms of Synthroid, (thyroxine) not 250 micrograms (.25mg), which would be a very high dose.
