so you are young overweight Hypertensive with subclinical hypothyroidism. your present BP is ok however for further reduction you need not to increase the drug. but if u can control ur weight,daily walk along with salt reduction in ur diet u can reduce ur BP down to 130/85 -88.
TSH of 8 is not of worry.
