A member asked:

My levothyroxine (lowest dose) increases my blood pressure significantly. is there an alternative? i have subclinical hypothyroidism.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Levothyroxine: It is possible that levothyroxine increases your blood pressure but not very likely. You need to discuss this with your doctor. You should also purchase a blood pressure system and check the pressure perhaps once a day or every other day. If it remains high you should be referred to a cardiologist.
