My mom and my 2 aunts have a thyroid problem is there a possibility that i have it?

Depends: What exactly the problem is. The most common cause of hypothyroidism (under active thyroid) is hashimoto's thyroiditis, which has a strong genetic component and runs in families. Thyroid cancer and grave's disease (a form of over active thyroid) also tend to run in families.
