Can anyone help me translate this? It appears under the heading antecedentes y alergias.

I have translated HIPOTIROIDISMO as hypothyroidism and DISCOPATIA as disc disease. Is that correct?

Pathologies: Arterial Hypertension, Type 2 Myotonic dystrophy, Hypothyroidism, Disk disease and Thyroidectomy.

The acronym "QX" means surgical, I would leave it out since Thyroidectomy already means "surgical removal" (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/thyroidectomy/MY00709).
