Could be. I was diagnosed with hypothyroid when I was a freshman in college. I had a goiter and didn't even know. Have you ever had mononucleosis, mumps as a child/teen? I had mono/mumps when I was 15 y/o and they seem to think the autoimmune response caused me to get hypothyroid so young. But it is possible. Make sure you get a thyroid panel and a CBC to make sure you are not anemic. I am a Registered Nurse by the way. Good luck, take care.

How high is your bp? Have you always had high bp?
All the symptoms fits low thyroid except the bp.
