4. Thyroid Issues
There is a correlation between hypothyroidism and high blood pressure. People who have problems with their thyroid may also experience hypertension. The thyroid regulates hormones throughout the body and when too many or too few hormones are produced it can affect blood pressure readings.
If you suffer from any type of thyroid issue it is important to make sure that you keep track of your blood pressure regularly as well. A well-balanced diet and exercise can lower the risk of high blood pressure resulting from thyroid issues.
