I was tested for hypothyroidism when I was 16 and the test came back negative. Can I develop it later in life?
My father has hypothyroidism which he takes medication for, and it is an inheritable disease. I’m just wondering if this is the answer to some of my problems the last few years. Maybe the test was a false negative? I’m in my mid twenty’s now.
Yes, hypothyroidism can develop later in life.
I am also going to include the link to a site that may help you find even more information. The link is at: http://thyroid.about.com
