Patient's question:
Hyperthyroidism for nearly two years, recently for over 30 days, left temple pain, these days high blood pressure, taking antihypertensive medication but it doesn't help, hello, what's going on? Does hyperthyroidism cause high blood pressure?Doctor's answer:
Drug treatment is the foundation of treatment for hyperthyroidism, with a standard course of treatment lasting approximately 2 years. Patients need to undergo repeated blood tests for routine blood tests and liver and kidney function, and monthly thyroid function tests are required until the thyroid function results return to normal. Even after normalization, thyroid function tests should be repeated every 3 months. Some patients with poor compliance may lead to recurrent hyperthyroidism. The commonly used drug is methimazole.
