Hello, thanks for the query.
The tablet mentioned (both brands) is used to treat high blood pressure. Doctor must have prescribed it for high bp. So please do take it. It does not have any interaction with levothyroxine. Please remember thyroxine tablet needs to be taken on empty stomach early morning and nothing to be taken fro over 1 hour. Thanks.

Dear lybrate-user.
It's good to share your concern about your health. Hypertension is known to be silent killer and is No 1 cause of mortality causing heart attack worldwide. Taking medication is good but you should use lifestyle medicine to combat and reverse it. Medication does control in numbers but impacts on side effects.
Have a proper lifestyle management.

Hi... Sorry to hear about the problem. ... If your blood pressure is 160/120 on the medication, then you should talk to your doctor about possibly increasing the medicine as the BP is not well controlled.
There are many reasons for the pain. With the high BP you should talk to your doctor and atleast get an ECG to get it checked out.
Hope this helps, Please let me know should you need anything.
Thanks

As you said your physical activity is nil. Try to improve that first. Plus you need to control your stress and anxiety. Healthy diet low in salt, fat, simple carbohydrate and rich in fibres, vegetables along with daily exercise may help to control your bp.
