Does low thyroid run in familys? My mother had low thyroid and so does my brothe!


Question:
I was wondering because it seems like I keep gaining weight for no reason and I am cold all the time. I was just curious if it could be inherited.
Answers:
Yes, Underactive Thyroids can run in families. To be sure, ask your doctor or clician to run a Complete Blood Count.
Weight gain occurs "for no reason" (ie: calorie intake & exercise output remaining the same) as you age & your metabolism slows down. Definitely see a doctor on this one, as it could possibly be something else. Remain educated about your health. :~)

Other Answers:
