Which are the early symptoms of Graves disease?
Graves disease affects the thyroid gland and is caused when too much of the thyroxine hormone is produced. One of the early symptoms is a "goitre" or swollen appearance at the front of the neck. The eyes may also appear to be enlarged and protruding, and the sufferer will feel fatigued and may have a noticeable tremor.
Has someone ever died from graves disease?
While Graves disease is potentially fatal if untreated, it doesn't seem to be much of a threat if properly managed. Graves disease is the result of the immune system attacking the thyroid in such a way that the body produces too much thyroxin. Once that occurs the metabolism can be stimulated to the degree that the body is unable to process sufficient calories to meet the needs of normal operations, so the body starts feeding on it's own muscle mass. Unfortunately, one of the muscles, the heart, doesn't do well once it is reduced beyond a certain point. When treated, Graves disease is little more than an annoyance.

When the body has too much thyroid hormone due to taking too much thyroid hormone medication the condition known as?
Reasons for too much thyroxine (T-4)Normally, your thyroid releases the right amount of hormones, but sometimes it produces too much T-4. This may occur for a number of reasons, including:Graves' disease. Graves' disease, an autoimmune disorder in which antibodies produced by your immune system stimulate your thyroid to produce too much T-4, is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Normally, your immune system uses antibodies to help protect against viruses, bacteria and other foreign substances that invade your body. In Graves' disease, antibodies mistakenly attack your thyroid and occasionally the tissue behind your eyes (Graves' opthalmopathy) and the skin, often in your lower legs over the shins (Graves' dermopathy). Scientists aren't sure exactly what causes Graves' disease, although several factors - including a genetic predisposition - are likely involved.Hyperfunctioning thyroid nodules (toxic adenoma, toxic multinodular goiter, Plummer's disease). This form of hyperthyroidism occurs when one or more adenomas of your thyroid produce too much T-4. An adenoma is a part of the gland that has walled itself off from the rest of the gland, forming noncancerous (benign) lumps that may cause an enlargement of the thyroid. Not all adenomas produce excess T-4, and doctors aren't sure what causes some to begin producing too much hormone.Thyroiditis. Sometimes your thyroid gland can become inflamed for unknown reasons. The inflammation can cause excess thyroid hormone stored in the gland to leak into your bloodstream. One rare type of thyroiditis, known as subacute thyroiditis, causes pain in the thyroid gland. Other types are painless and may sometimes occur after pregnancy (postpartum thyroiditis).
