Ok- I inherited my high cholesterol, high blood pressure and coronary heart disease from my father. He went through hell and I am trying to avoid that. My older brother has the same problems but he waited to late to start treating his and has already had 3 major heart surgeries like my dad did. I caught all of min this last year and began being treated for all my diseases. I am wondering though-I was diagnosed with low throid function as a chld when I was 10 and took thyroid medication for low thyroid medication until I was 40 at which time they tested me and said it was now normal and has remained such since then. Could thre be a coorelation between thyroid disease and heart conditions later on in life?
