Honestly, I have been abusing thyroid medication to lose weight, but now, when I eat, my head spins and throbs. I tested my BP and it was high...
No lectures on how BAD i am for the medication abuse, only tell me if the BP raise is due to the thyroid medication...

Hyperthyroidism. This condition occurs when your thyroid produces too much thyroid hormone. This can result in an increase in the activity of epinephrine and norepinephrine, subsequently causing high blood pressure. Oftentimes, the systolic (top number) pressure alone is generally elevated, and you may have an increased heart rate. Treatment includes medications, radioactive iodine and surgery, all of which can restore normal blood pressure.

A few months ago, I was very sick, zero energy, freezing cold, depressed, weight gain, thought I was dying. I read every word of this Hypothyroidism Revolution program and followed all the advice. My life turned around the first week. I started to feel human again. Within weeks my energy came back and I felt like living again.
Get the entire hypothyroidism revolution system today? just choose the best option for you.

Your priority should be to get your anxiety treated...YOU are doing all this stuff to yourself and have become more anxious worrying about imagined cardiac symptoms. Go to your regular doctor and get a referral to a therapist. If you are this much of a basket case at 20...what the heck will your life be like at 30,40, etc.? Take care of this!

yes, if you are taking too much.
all the medication is, is thyroid hormone, so obviously if you are taking too much, you are kinda of making yourself hyperthyroid in a sense

it can be a side affect or an underlying problem.. you really need to stop taking the medicine, give it a few days to completely get out of your system and then re-check your BP and if still high you need to go to the Dr.
