General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi,

Graves' disease is an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones resulting in hyperthyroid.
Hyperthyroid conditions will raise your blood pressure and heart rate.

Please talk to your doctor as apart from treating hyperthyroidism, you will have to be treated symptomatically so your raised heart rate and blood pressure will have to be taken care of. If I get a patient like you, I will start with Propranolol which will take care of high blood pressure and rapid heart rate both.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhash Verma,
General & Family Physician
