yes, increased thyroid hormones increase metabolism which will increase blood pressure
Yes it can.
Yes, thyrolar can increase blood pressure. Get it checked up the doctor, your dose may be too high
yes. thyroid hormones will increase your basic metabolic rate. Did you increase it upon the order of your doctor? If not, then go back to what you were at and make an appt with your dr. If you continue to take a higher dose without being monitored, you put yourself at risk for arrythmias, stroke, heart attack........Definately monitor your blood pressure daily until you get to doc. and inform them of what they ahve been running.
