Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, thyroid related diseases especially hyperthyroidism can cause uncontrolled hypertension.
So get done thyroid function test (T3,T4,and TSH).
Other causes for uncontrolled hypertension are hormonal imbalance after menopause.
So so get done female hormone levels (FSH, LH, Estrogen, Progesterone) etc.
Sometimes age related atherosclerosis can also cause high BP. So in that situation, you need to take take centrally acting antihypertensive drug like clonidine.
Discuss all these with your doctor and plan accordingly.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
