[QUOTE="SoCal Guy, post: 67300, member: 14529"] Russert also likely had undiagnosed thyroid issues, which can increase likelihood of heart attack. He had several of the diagnostic criteria including dying outer eyebrows, edematous jowls and (mildly, in his case) bulging eyes. [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/JQRH5f4.jpg[/IMG] Historical photo of a more extreme case, before and after thyroid supplementation: [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/59lvWWz.jpg[/IMG] I found myself sitting on a plane last month next to a guy who looked much worse than Russert. I'm sure it weirded him out when I explained that he ought to have his thyroid checked, but I felt it was just basic decency to warn him. He did look a little freaked out, and said his dad had had thyroid issues. He also said that he'd gotten checked, and the endo said his thyroid numbers looked good. Yet one glance at the guy and you KNEW he was in danger. Good doctors are NOT as common as we'd hope, and are worth their weight in gold. [/QUOTE]
