Hi, Good day. Yes, the symptoms could be due to hypothyroidism. However, cramps could be due to a variety of other reasons including neuropathy, dehydration and Vitamin D deficiency etc. Hypothyroidism also cause hypertension especially diastolic hypertension. It is prudent to restart your thyroid medications. You could meet a GP or an Endocrinologist for further investigations and management
