What Can I Do For High BP, Irregular Heartbeat, Fatigueness, Aching Muscles, Cold Hands Even When My Thyroid Gland Was Removed?

I do not have a thyroid gland, It was 90% removed in 1958. My BP and pulse has bee like a 20-30 year old. I am close to 79, Since a revision surgery last September my blood pressure has been running high and my heartbeat is irregular. I often feel woozy, fatigued, my muscles are painful, can't stand the cold, often have cold hands. My thyroid tests have run low for the last 2 - 4 years. I am very concerned. I am told I can't have another thyroid test because it is too close to the last one. Just about every symptom indicates hypothyroidism and it seems there is no help anywhere. What can I do?
