What to do if thyroid cancer causes unstable blood pressure

Thyroid cancer can cause unstable blood pressure, which may be caused by hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, thyroid crisis, or other reasons. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital for treatment in a timely manner and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Hyperthyroidism: Thyroid cancer is a malignant tumor. If the condition is serious, it may cause abnormal hormone secretion in the body, thereby inducing hyperthyroidism, palpitations, sweating, weight loss and other symptoms. It may also increase the excitability of the sympathetic nerves, causing unstable blood pressure. At this time, you can take methimazole tablets and other drugs for treatment as prescribed by the doctor;

2. Hypothyroidism: If the patient does not actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment during the illness, the disease will continue to develop, which may lead to insufficient synthesis of thyroid hormone in the body, thus affecting the normal contraction and relaxation function of the heart, and also causing vasodilation, resulting in unstable blood pressure. Patients can take drugs such as levothyroxine sodium tablets for treatment under the guidance of a doctor;

3. Thyroid crisis: If the patient has thyroid cancer and does not actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, the condition will worsen, which may cause thyroid crisis, causing damage to the body and disorder of hormone secretion in the body, thus affecting the normal beating of the heart and the speed of blood circulation, and also causing unstable blood pressure. Patients need to go to the hospital for examination in time and receive treatment through intravenous injection of potassium iodide solution under the guidance of a doctor;.

4. Other reasons: If the patient suffers from diseases such as hypertension or hypoglycemia, blood pressure may also be unstable during the onset of the disease. If accompanied by symptoms of nausea and vomiting, it is considered to be caused by gastritis. It is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time to complete relevant examinations and use antihypertensive drugs such as nifedipine sustained-release tablets for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

Patients are advised to take a rest and avoid overwork. They are also advised to maintain a balanced nutritional intake and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.
