Dear Dr

The increase in temperature has been over 4-5 months. It is usually followed by a nosebleed. She has not been tested for thyroid. As we've had a child recently she has had a disturbed sleep pattern and lately suffered from massive anxiety. She also complains of body aches and is fatigued

She has been checked and has been told she has very high blood presure when she has an increase in body temperature

Brief Answer:
Hypertension.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Her history goes in favor of Hypertension only. That is the high blood pressure. The most common cause of nose bleed is high blood pressure.
She would require to take treatment for that. She should be started on anti hypertensive medications based on the BP readings.
Also once her BP settles her anxiety will also get under control.
I would also recommend a few tests for her to rule out any evidence of injury to the organs caused by high BP and to rule out issues like thyroid disorders that can also cause these issues.
Following tests are recommended:
1. Hemogram.
2. Kidney function tests.
3. Thyroid profile.
4. ECG.
5. Urine examination
6. Fasting blood sugar.
Also get her BP checked and discuss with your doctor to start her on the anti hypertensive medications.
Get her tested and write back to me with reports.
In the mean time make a chart with date and time of her BP readings and temperature.
I hope it helps.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
