Graves’ Disease: Feeling Out of Control in My Body

I became aware that something was wrong with my thyroid as I was trying to fall asleep one night. Why did my heart feel like it was rapidly pounding out of my chest? Yes, I had a stressful moment that evening, but I was mostly calm when I got into bed. No amount of breathing exercises helped, and I called my doctor the next morning.

It took several months for me to transition off of a medication I was taking, get an EKG, find a different, kinder endocrinologist for a second opinion, receive my official Graves’ disease diagnosis, obtain the correct medication, and finally start navigating treatment.
