I've had pericarditis for quite a while and learned hashimoto's runs in my family. can it be the cause?

Hashimoto's: Cardiac complications only come in very severe hypothyroidism. It is extremely unlikely that you have thyroid disease to that severity, .

Could be: Hashimoto's can lead to hypothyroidism which can be a cause for pericarditis. Also there have been reports of hashimoto's and pericardial effusion (fluid in the pericardial sac).
