I Have Graves’ Disease. Thanks to Running, I Got a Diagnosis Quickly
The endocrinologist says with some patients, the moment she walks into the exam room, she can tell they have Graves’. But that’s not me. My eyes aren’t protruding, thankfully, and I don’t have a visible tremor. My thyroid isn’t enlarged. But the blood work—measuring various levels of hormones—painted a clear picture.”
It started when I was chopping onions. My heart suddenly sped up for a moment—three seconds at most—before returning to its normal rhythm. Like when you’re driving and press the accelerator, only to realize the car is still in park.
A few minutes later, I was standing at the kitchen sink, and it happened again. The pattern continued for a couple of weeks. My ticker would rev briefly, several times throughout the day.
