Hi

We will try to help you in the best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately.

Based on the history you have shared, everything other than Metformin which you are taking can cause such high blood pressure including steroid hormones supplements or thyroxine etc.

You also need to have a renal ultrasound and renal artery Doppler as well as workup for secondary hypertension especially due to endocrine causes. Urine for VMA may also be needed.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Saddiq Ulabidin, General & Family Physician
