Is my endo at fault? Stage 2 hypertension
Diagnosed with Hyperthyroid/Graves. At the first visit my BP was normal, and Endo said he didn’t want to put me on Beta blockers. During the monthly check ins, he never talked about BP and didn’t tell me to monitor it either.
Fast forward to the 6 month in office visit, they took my BP and it was very high. I raised the concern and he literally said “oh I didn’t care about that”, and that my thyroid levels are normal. I have a pre existing heart condition that could be impacted if my BP raises, and Endo is well aware.
Went to cardiologist immediately after who put me on beta blockers. She concluded my heart condition worsened from high BP impact/thyroid and recommended me to a heart surgeon, a step she expected years down the line not now.
Does the Endo bare any responsibility here? Should they have thought about monitoring BP as part of the thyroid treatment? What would you do?
