Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hi

Thyroid hormone replacement can cause symptoms of anxiety and tremors as described by you. I would advice reduction of dose of thyroxine to 25 mcg from 50 mcg. As far as your blood pressure medications is concerned , we would have your BP checked and take a call on your medications after seeing your blood pressure profile.

Hope this helps
Regards
