Graves Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
With symptoms like nervousness, unexplained weight loss, and palpitations, a thyroid problem may be suspected and evaluation sought; one of its common causes is Graves' disease. It is an autoimmune disorder that causes the thyroid gland to produce too much hormone.
What it is: a condition in which the immune system stimulates the thyroid, causing hyperthyroidism.
Common symptoms: rapid heartbeat, sweating, hand tremors, anxiety, and, in some cases, more prominent eyes.
Who treats it? The endocrinologist is the central specialist for Graves' disease, and the internist or cardiologist may get involved depending on the symptoms. If you recognize several of these signs, the sensible thing is to see a professional who can evaluate your thyroid.
