Does Thyroid Dysfunction Cause Thinning Of Hair And Asthma?

I have a group of seemingly unrelated symptoms and I have been wondering if they could actually be related. I am a 67 year old woman. Low thyroid since 18 years old, thinning hair, asthma, moderate to severe arthritis in knees, shoulders, and some in hips.
