@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?

When I started the Thyrogen injections it was like having the flu, then after the second one I actually passed out, and they couldn't get a blood pressure and they would not let me get the 3rd or the radiation iodine treatment I was scheduled for. Said if my numbers change they will figure out how to get me the treatment. So this year when the wbs time came, they took me off the meds, blood pressure dropped very low, heart palpitations, very lethargic so spent a lot of time laying around and sleeping, very fatigued and had a hard time concentrating or keeping track of my thoughts. To bring up my blood pressure they did give me some medication and it came up to 70/60.
