Brief Answer:
Low BP linked to low thyroid function -hypothyroidism
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
I apologize for the delayed response owing to my hectic work schedule.
As per your reports, you possibily seems to have Hypothyroidism and not hyperthyroidism.
This is more appropriately called as subclinical variety.
Instead of iodine, you need thyroxine replacement with Elthroxin.
Low blood pressure could be due to hypothyroidism.
This low BP gets corrected with elthroxin replacement.
Please check with your physician if he shares my view and if can prescribe it to you.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
