Super High blood preassure

how would taking D3 in excess cause calcium levels to go high? It's only activated D3 in the form of calcitriol that would case PTH to be high enough to trigger osteoclastic activity, where calcium is leeched from bones to increase serum calcium.
even if you took plenty of calcium, it would end up building bone structure when the ratio of extracellular calcium to cellular calcium exceeds an optimal ratio of 15000, but if you're hypothyroid all bets are off. More calcium would end up in the cells and over time this would lead to internal calcification and fibrosis. With tissues and organs stiffened and shrinking, it would easily cause high blood pressure. But hypertension is always a result, or effect of a larger cause. Hypertension is never a primary cause, but a secondary one. But our doctors never got the memo, because there is none.

If you're not into finding root causes and just merely drown yourself in a smorgasbord of substances, you won't go anywhere.
Since doctors are not trained to troubleshoot, and if you don't do it yourself, the default solution is to take prescription drugs.
It's a tall order, which is why I've never found a doctor, conventional or wholistic, who knows how to go about it.
I do it against all odds, but glad for reading Ray Peat and complementing his ideas with those outside bioenergetics, I get some sort of mishmash or fusion going in an admittedly amateurish fashion by connecting the dots myself. But it's tedious. It's paying off in the better understanding I have now, even though I am heavily dependent on my n=1. As it has been a solo flight. Working as a collaboration is harder as synergistic minds don't exist in a world filled with myths and made up of imaginary gremlins and banshees written by ghost writers in medical texts.

@slawekb Have you tried taurine? I have personally found it helpful. (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2586397/)
Other things to consider (the following are from my notes from the other forum):
Thyroid, aspirin, vitamin K, vitamin C, taurine, hawthorn RPF, Vitamin e, chondroitin sulfate
Studies have shown 580mg of ubiquinol/day increased ejection fraction up to 77%. Here's one study I was able to find quickly: (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19096107/)Ubiquinol worked where equal doses of CoQ10 didn't. Dr. Peat says Vitamins K2 and E work at the CoQ10 site to enhance the effects of CoQ10.
Taurine, Vitamin K2, Magnesium are essential for blood pressure control and vascular health. These three can easily replace hypertension drugs.
T3-T4, Inosine, COQ10, Calcium are safest positive inotropic agents. Meaning that they all strengthen the force of the heartbeat without causing tachycardia.

My mom swears by chayote. She would make it in a soup, when she had it she would have to be careful because she also took meds to lower her blood pressure, so sometimes it would get too low.
