What Causes High BP Inspite Of Using Thyroid Medicines?

Please, can you upload you blood test results?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry that your blood pressure seems to have be increasing lately. While this may signal the onset of hypertension, I would like that we exclude the possibility of high amounts of thyroid supplements being at the origin. What were your last blood control numbers? Do you feel any other symptoms like racing heart, anxiety, loose stools, etc? Should you have some of these, then we should consider this first.
On what grounds did your doctor suspect chronic lymphocytic leukemia(CLL)? I cannot comment on this as it requires blood workup to raise the suspicion of CLL. Your GP should d the necessary tests to confirm that this is the case so that a plan can be established to address it. What is your GP's plan about this?
Unless you have had any further issues about this carotid fistula, there is just no reason to get bothered about this right now.
In all, get your thyroid supplements and thyroid tests controlled to make sure you are not receiving excess amounts that may explain increased blood pressure. Ask your GP what the plan about the suspected chronic lymphocytic leukemia is. Finally, if possible upload a copy of your blood tests.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarification should need be. Thanks for using our services.
Dr. Ditah, MD.
