PM & Blood pressure
#10

Thanks Lotus. Having no thyroid, I am taking 210 mcg of Synthroid and have been for over a year. All blood work as measured two weeks ago and last week fell within normal and some particulars are as follows: (note being male I do not get tested for E2, SHBG, LH or FH).

Free T4: 1.66/1.4
TSH: .7/.12
WBC: 7.61
eGFR: >60/102
Cholesterol: 204

As I stated, I've never had this issue before, and I've had bloodwork done both while taking PM and not taking it. Research below shows that increased levels of estrogen when taking synthroid for thyroid issues will cause an increased dosage of synthroid to achieve the required affect, hence my wonderment if the two correlate into my having higher blood pressure.

Regardless, it's weird as today my blood pressure has been <140 <90 all day and I have not even taken a blood pressure pill....

Guess I'll just see what the doc has to say.
