A member asked:

What is the life expectancy for someone with graves disease?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No different: It should be no different from someone without graves disease, as long as the graves is treated. The hyperthyroidism will accelerate the heart, and can cause complications, especially in the elderly, but once the graves is treated, all should return to normal.
