Graves disease is also known as hyperthyroidism
which is caused by the "over"
production of thyroid hormone. The thyroid gland is the body's
thermostat that regulates your temperature thru two hormones that
control how quickly the body burns
calories. Symptoms of hyperthyroidism are: nervousness, irritability, constantly being too hot, insomnia, fatigue, increased bowel
movements, weakness, rapid heartbeat, goiter, hand tremors. Graves disease affects women more than men.

Grave's disease is the most common form of hyperthyroidism.
It is a disorder that happens when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormone,
causing an overactive metabolic state. Note that all of the body's
functions may speed up with this disorder. Hyperthyroidism
symptoms include: fatigue nervousness, irritability, a constant feeling of being hot, increased
perspiration, insomnia, increased frequency of bowel movements, less frequent menstruation and decreased menstrual flow, weakness,
hair loss, weight loss, change in skin thickness, separation of the nails from the nail bed, hand tremors, intolerance of heat, rapid heartbeat,
goiter,
and possibly protruding eyeballs. Hyperthyroidism is sometimes also called "thyrotoxicosis".
Grave's disease, which affects over 2.5 million
in just the United States alone.
The thyroid gland is the body's internal thermostat. This gland regulates the
body temperature by the secretion of two hormones which control how
fast the body
burns calories and utilizes energy. If a person's thyroid gland secretes
too much hormone, hyperthyroidism results; too little hormone results in hypothyroidism. Many cases of hyperthyroidism
and hypothyroidism are thought to result from an abnormal immune response. The
specific cause is unknown, but the immune system may produce antibodies that
can
invade and attack the thyroid, disturbing normal hormone production. Hyperthyroidism can also be caused by lumps or tumors that form on the thyroid and
may also disturb hormone production. Both inflammation or infection of the thyroid
may cause temporary hyperthyroidism. There are also prescription
drugs that may cause temporary hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism is not as common as hypothyroidism. Both of these thyroid
problems affect women more than men. Also a malfunctioning thyroid can be the
root cause of many recurring health problems.
