HI Guys,
I've been diagnosed with Hypo about 6 months ago and am on Thyroxin 100mg daily. I'm currently finishing off my CPL and am wondering if this will affect my medical. The only thing i noticed was that my HR was very slow (around 48 bpm, everyone thought i was really fit haha) and i was tired all the time (still am but blood tests are normal now).
I'm told i have had Hypo for years and probably inherited it from my mother as she has it. I was a late developer so if there are any docs on board here, could that have been the reason and what could happen if i don't take the treatment? At least i'm saving heartbeats haha
