Appointment prep
Prepare for a Graves' disease evaluation
Rapid heartbeat, anxiety-like symptoms, weight loss, and eye changes are often dismissed as panic disorder or stress. Medvo helps you describe the full physical pattern and request thyroid labs, antibody testing, and endocrinology referral — framed as evaluation, never diagnosis.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Racing heart, tremors, heat intolerance, and unexplained weight loss
- · Anxiety, insomnia, and muscle weakness that feel physical
- · Eye bulging, double vision, or gritty eyes (Graves' ophthalmopathy)
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · Full thyroid panel (TSH, free T4, T3) plus TSH-receptor antibodies
- · Referral to endocrinologist experienced in Graves' disease
- · Ophthalmology evaluation if eye symptoms are present
If you've been dismissed
- · Told it's 'just anxiety' or panic attacks without thyroid testing
- · Symptoms minimized as 'stress-related' despite clear physical signs
