Graves' disease
Graves' disease, also known as toxic diffuse goiter or Basedow’s disease, is an autoimmune disorder that stimulates the overproduction of thyroid hormones, leading to hyperthyroidism and often causing an enlarged thyroid. Symptoms include irritability, muscle weakness, a fast heartbeat, heat intolerance, weight loss, and in some cases, pretibial myxedema and eye bulging due to Graves' ophthalmopathy.
