For my yearly wbs, I have to go off thyroid meds, and do low iodine diet for 4-8 weeks, my body has reacted to the Thyrogen injections so we go "old school". Does any one else experience severely low blood pressure with Thyrogen injections or going off thyroid medication? My blood pressure drops to 60/40 at best when I go off medication or when they gave me the injections, this year they put me on medication to bring up the pressures and that was better (70/60), wondering if others have a similar reaction? My doctor said she isn't sure why my body reacts that way but would like to hear others stories. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

@sophia07, I'm bumping this discussion back up to see if fellow members have experienced low blood pressure either as a reaction to Thyrogen injections or while off thyroid meds. That must be disconcerting to have to deal with for 4-8 weeks. What symptoms do you experience?
