5. Increased Heartbeat
An increased heartbeat is a common symptom that goes together with Graves’s disease. This is because of the inflammation and pressure that the condition can cause, usually with instances of flare-ups that will mean the condition is worse at certain times than at others.
If you experience an increased heartbeat and you aren’t sure why, the first thing you should do is to look at any potential risk factors: Have you used any medication, done any strenuous activities or made any changes that might have prompted this? After this, see your doctor: Any signs of an irregular or increased heartbeat can be indicative of Graves’s disease, but it could also mean other underlying conditions that are best treated early on.
Most heart conditions can be managed easily, but most heart conditions are also very serious ones that should be diagnosed as early as possible: An untreated and undiagnosed heart condition has the potential to be fatal.
