The only relevant point you bring up is I do take Thyroid medication but have been doing so for quite some time without a problem...Lyvoxel. It is a very small dosage. I have not history of the other ailments. I am a tense person though. I am feeling better but will make an appointment with my doctor and tell her. I do like sweets but try not to overdo. My blood pressure has always been ok, though moving in the hyper tense direction. Thanks.. XXXXXXX
