Symptoms. Unlike many issues, Graves’ disease doesn’t often show off many contemporary symptoms. However, there are often changes to a body that can help suggest a person may be dealing with Graves’ disease. The first sign is unexpected weight loss. Many people lose a large amount of weight while still eating a lot and not exercising much. Some people take unexpected weight loss as a blessing, but it’s often a sign something is amiss. Those with Graves’ disease could feel large amounts of anxiety and be unable to calm down after getting excited. This leads to irritable behavior around people during the day and suffering from insomnia at night. Due to that anxiety, it’s very common to sweat constantly and profusely. This can lead to dehydration and other problems. Finally, many people may feel their own heartbeat. Feeling your own heartbeat means that sleeping is difficult. It’s unsettling and contributes to the insomnia that is already likely due to the anxiety.
