It’s very early in your son’s treatment. I’m sure it’s very scary for you to see your son’s blood pressure so high. His doctor is familiar with the particulars of his case that would have a bearing on how soon his blood pressure might normalize, so why don’t you ask? There are really so many variables that only his doctor could even come close to figuring it out.
From what I understand about Amy’s son, he was undiagnosed for a long time, so that might be a factor in the reasons it’s taking more time for his blood pressure to normalize. I’ve talked with adults who were hyperthyroid a long time and who told me it took a long time for their heart function to return to normal, but eventually it does. I would guess that it’s similar for teenagers, but only his doctor could answer that question of course.
Anyway, welcome to this board. We’re glad you found us, and if there are questions we can answer that aren’t medical questions about his specific case (which is beyond our scope), we’ll give it our best shot. Also, maybe you and Amy should get together, as you do have a lot in common!
Best wishes,
