Yes: The thyroid and parathryroids are 2 separate glands and have separate functions. There are some very rare conditions where you can have hypothyroidism and hyperparathryroidism, but most likely these are two separate things. If you are having these conditions I would suggest you see an endocrinologist so further studies can be done.

Yes: Yes you can have both conditions at the same time. They are two separate conditions but common so they could occur in the same patient.
