Thyroidism can in fact, be hereditary. I myself, have low thyriod, along with my mother. If you someone in your family has thyroidism and you're worried that may be you have thyroid disease, then you should see a Endocrinologist like I did.
* Syptoms vary because there are two types of thyroidism. There's hypo- and hyper thyroidism. But again, consult a Endocrinologist as they are doctors specialized in Thyroid disorders, Diabtese, etc.
