What are the symptoms of graves' disease?

Thyroid + eye bulge: Most graves will have thyroid hyperactivity with racing heart rate, anxiety, diaphoresis, fatigue and other symptoms of thyroid hormone overproduction. And they will also have eye bulging (proptosis) which may cause cosmetic changes, eye dryness, redness, and rarely vision drop. A few have the eye symptoms only. This is managed by an endocrinologist.
