Can synthroid raise or contribute to high blood pressure?
My mom is taking synthroid and provachol and all of a sudden her blood pressure went from low to high. I thought perhaps one of these medications contributed or caused it.

With hypothyroidism , there is usually low blood pressure. Now that your Mom is on metication for the thyroid your blood pressure would probably go up. If its a little high now, it could be her diet or because she is retaining fluids. A great food to lowrr blood pressure is celery.
When in excess, thyroid medication can have the potential of making your blood pressure fluctuate.
If truly concerned, have her go see a doctor.
Synthroid could, especially if she is on an amount that is too high. Maybe her doctor should do blood tests to check the levels of her thyroid hormone.
