Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland, a small, butterfly-shaped endocrine gland in the front of the neck. Graves’ disease causes the thyroid to produce too many thyroid hormones and become overactive (hyperthyroidism). Graves’ disease can affect many parts of the body, including the heart, muscles, bones, and eyes.
Not everyone living with Graves’ disease will experience the same symptoms, and the impact of each symptom can vary by individual. Some of the more common symptoms include:
Weight loss
Fast or irregular
heartbeat
Feeling nervous
or anxious
Tiredness
Issues sleeping
Increased sweating
(and other general signs of an overactive metabolism)
Swelling at the front of the neck
(caused by an enlarged thyroid, called a goiter)
Eye symptoms
(potentially related to thyroid eye disease)
