Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
Hashimoto's Thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease and it can be associated with other autoimmune diseases in isolation or can be associated with various syndromes too.
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN-1 syndrome) or Wermer's syndrome is a group of disorders that affect the endocrine system and involves lesions in pituitary, parathyroid gland and pancreas.
So, that might be the reason behind your symptoms.
So, you need to see your doctor and discuss my opinion with him.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
