Anyone with hypertension/high blood pressure?

I went to a doctor a couple of months ago and told her I thought I had hyperthyroidism because of my sweat, high blood pressure and a couple of other symptoms. She kinda brushed that idea aside and told me that maybe I was just a sweaty guy, and we could find out if I took a simple blood test. So I took a blood test and it came back negative. Before the blood test I was really convinced I had it because my mom has hyperthyroidism and she does seem to sweat a bit more than normal during physical activity, although not quite as much as me. My younger brother also seems to sweat more than normal, but again, not as much as me.

Anyway, the doctor took my blood pressure and saw it was high and also noted heart palpitations. When the results for the blood test came back, she called me and told me that it was negative for hyperthyroidism. And that was it, she didn't make mention that I still had a high blood pressure problem and didn't say come back for a follow-up or to see what's wrong with me.

I've been going to the pharmacy every now and then and I use their blood pressure machines. I get a constant reading of 140/90, sometimes a bit higher but usually around that mark.

I sweat all over the place, hands, feet, back, chest, forehead, groin, etc... I was wondering for people that sweat all over like myself, do you guys have any blood pressure issues? If you took care of it, did it relieve your sweating problems at all?

I'm gonna try to go see a doctor within the next week and see if I can at least take care of my blood pressure, it's really getting to me, sometimes it has me feeling very anxious.

I have High Blood Pressure also. 140/90 is borderline high. I always wondered about the relationship between HH and High Blood Pressure. Mine is definitely hereditary, yet no one else in the family has HH. My dad just started getting HH in his hands and this might have been do to his back surgery a little over a year ago.

Follow up with your doctor to see what's going on. You might need to go on BP medicine? I'm on a very small dosage and it does help lower the BP. It has no effect on the HH.
