Detailed Answer:
Dear Madam,

Thank you for posting your query on HCM.

Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that , since you are already hypothyroid at this young age you may be having underlying connective tissue disease . A t this time you are having arthralgias and raynauds phenomenon probably . So you should get thyroid autoantibodies like Anti TPO antibody and tests for Lupus done , like ANA and ENA profile . Rest if you have any other symptoms please tell us so we can guide you more .

Take care.

Dr. Shruti
