What is Hyperthyroidism / Graves Disease?
Hyperthyroidism is a condition where the thyroid gland produces excessive thyroid hormone, accelerating the body's metabolism. Graves disease, an autoimmune disorder, is the most common cause, often presenting with symptoms like weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and bulging eyes. It affects approximately 1 in 200 people, with women at higher risk.
