Hello, I have gone through your query. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Basically hyperthyroidism can lead to mild hypertension. And BP reading of 130/90 and 127/86 are marginal and you don't need any treatment for that. Inderal which is being given to you would control this level. Usually treatment of hyperthyroidism lasts for about 2 years. Looking to your present reading you just focus on hyperthyroidism along with salt restriction and follow healthy lifestyle. My best wishes Chat Doctor.
