Graves’ disease is not simply a “thyroid imbalance”; it is an autoimmune disease that can have significant cardiac, bone, eye and pregnancy-related consequences. Anyone with suspected Graves’ disease should have appropriate thyroid testing and medical follow-up rather than relying on symptoms alone.
Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). The immune system produces antibodies—particularly TSI/TRAb—that stimulate the thyroid to produce excessive thyroid hormones. It is more common in women and can affect the thyroid, eyes, and, less commonly, the skin.
Graves’ Eye Disease
One of the characteristic features of Graves’ disease is thyroid eye disease (Graves’ ophthalmopathy).
Possible symptoms include:
Bulging or prominent eyes
Dry, gritty or irritated eyes
Puffy eyelids
Sensitivity to light
Eye pressure or pain
Blurred or double vision
Eye symptoms can occur before, during, or even when thyroid hormone levels are normal.
Who is at Higher Risk?
Risk may be higher in people with:
A family history of Graves’ or other thyroid disease
Other autoimmune conditions
A personal or family history of autoimmune disease
Nicotine/tobacco exposure
