How does Graves start?
+

When the immune system produces antibodies called thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulins (TSI) that is the beginning of Graves’ disease. This antibiotic mimics the action of thyoid stimulating hormones (TSH), binding to the thyroid gland and causing it to produce excessive thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). This overproduction leads to hyperthyroidism, resulting in symptoms such as weight loss, rapid heartbeat, and anxiety.

What is the root cause of Graves' disease?
+

Graves' illness is primarily caused by immune system failure, which results in the development of antibodies that incorrectly target the thyroid gland. In particular, hyperthyroidism is caused by the body producing thyroid-stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI) or thyroid-stimulating antibodies (TSAb), which attach to receptors on thyroid cells and cause them to overproduce thyroid hormone.

Can Graves' disease go away naturally?
+

Mild Graves' illness may sometimes get better on its own or go away without medical intervention. This is rare, though, and the majority of people need medical assistance to control their symptoms and avoid problems. Radioactive iodine therapy, antithyroid drugs, and occasionally surgery are available forms of treatment.

Can Graves be painful?
+

Although pain is not usually associated with Graves' illness, some people may feel uncomfortable. Painful goiter is a rare disorder in which the thyroid gland becomes tender or painful.

What are the early warning signs of thyroid problems?
+

Common symptoms include- Unexplained weight loss, increased heart rate or palpitations, nervousness or anxiety, heat intolerance, excessive sweating, Tremors in hands or fingers, and more.
