Hello Dear ,

Thank you for using HCM.
I read your query an I understand your concern.
I think you have to do some detailed examinations before starting medications. You should have your thyroid hormone levels checked then take the medication for it and evaluate the hypertension at doctor's office. Your doctor will give the medications suitable for you. First line medication for hypertension are diuretics.

Best regards
