Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
Betacap TR 40 contains propranolol which has many uses including high blood pressure, raised thyroid hormones and anxiety. It is possible that your doctor has given Betacap TR 40 for raised thyroid hormones and anxiety. This use is justified after clinical examination.
Betacap TR 40 might not have been given for your blood pressure. Hoping that you have confirmed your high blood pressure status after getting clinical examination done. High blood pressure is diagnosed if a person has a persistent high blood pressure recording of more than 140/ 90 mm Hg when recorded on 3 consecutive days at the same time and in the same position after taking 30 minutes of physical and mental rest. If you have doubts then I suggest you please get your blood pressure measured following above guidelines so that there are no mistakes.
Since you have written blood pressure as 80/ 140 mm Hg and since we write the higher value first, I have taken it as 140/ 80 mm Hg. Even considering 140/ 80 mm Hg, I do not feel it is high enough to require medications and diet changes can help.
High blood pressure is related to low thyroid hormones and this is not there in your case.
Since the Betacap TR 40 might be for raised thyroid hormones and anxiety therefore there might be a need to take it.
Hope your query is answered.

Hi Dr XXXXXXX
Thank you very much for your detailed answers.I have below two last questions on this topic.
1) Is it must to use Betacap 40 at this moment or it is ok to use Thyrowel capsules for a period of 1-2 months and see if there is a progress? I am worried that using Betacap TR 40 may affect my pressure over the period of time and I may have to continue the medicine to keep blood pressure under control.I undertsand that doctor might have given this medicine for thyroid but as the medicine is also working on Blood pressure,I am thinking I will use only if this medicine is mandatory at this moment.
2) Based on my current TSH,T3 and T4 -Is it a serious problem to have too low TSH ? Can this be completly treated? Please let me know.Thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
Your questions are important and I have tried to explain to the best of my knowledge below
1. I am only seeing your reports and your doctor might have examined you completely before suggesting Betacap TR 40 and Thyrowel. It is necessary to take these at least for few months and see the results. I understand your concern about the side effects of Betacap TR 40. However in adults, side effects are seen only in overdosage. The only situations where the patient must be careful while taking Betacap TR 40 is if they have liver disorders, diabetes, heart rhythm disorders and allergies to other substances. However if you have any doubts, please take another opinion from a cardiologist to make sure you do not have any increased risks. If you ask my personal opinion then I will get an ECG done for you and tell you to look out for any side effects like dizziness. Otherwise there is no serious problem in taking Betacap TR and I have come across many patients taking it for anxiety, blood pressure and thyroid problems without side effects.
2. Having low TSH for a long time needs to be treated slowly. It can cause serious problems in future if thyroid hormones rise to dangerous levels. It can be treated completely in most people and treatment depends on repeating thyroid tests regularly and striking a balance of TSH and the thyroid hormones.
Hope your query is answered.
