How can thyroiditis & graves be differentiated? what are the differ. & similarities? symptoms i have occasional tachycardia, anxiety, feel neck bigger
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different: Grave's disease is a form of thyroiditis from an autoimmune reaction with specific characteristics such as bulging eyes etc. Thyroiditis simply means inflammation which may be from other mechanisms. You need to consult an endocrinologist soon since you may have an overactive thyroid.
