Flushed face update- high blood pressure

[Guest guest]

Hi group, A Happy new year to everyone,

Now for the boring bit, I feel really well, but I posted, a few weeks ago, about

my face going red, with white around the mouth. i go red even when doing the

dishes! Then i noticed a fast pounding heart, i have also heard my heart beat at

night for a while. I am on NDT and had just increased to 2 grains and thought

that if my adrenals are struggleing and my ferritin is not great (35ish) that

this could be the cause. THEN i went to the gym and asked to have may bp

checked. It was 168 over 95 with a resting pulse of 102.( I am 45 and gained

about 3 stone over the past year, and was quite ill and could not get out of

bed) Because of this i was advised just to do gentle exercise. I am seeing my gp

on Friday.

I have come off the NDT and are on t4 with the view of stopping for a week or so

after my 'Adrenal extra' arrives. I then hope to start back on NDT, as i felt

well, and now that i am back on t4 feel depressed.

Why are my cells holding on to water? will drinking more water help? I dont use

caffeine or refined salty foods. The high blood-pressure is worrying me. If i am

given duretics, will this effect other things?

Any advice most welcome.
