Hi my wife got a MRI and her thyroid was enlarged does that mean she has graves or anything along those lines.she had some blood work done and it came back no. But one doctor is saying she does have graves. They are going to do other blood work but can someone tell without doing blood work.and can she die from this. Thank you

Hi, majority of the tests are negative, and going to test other tests, with out tests to know about the disease, you can look for symptoms they are goitre, trouble sleeping, nervous ness, tachycardia, heat sensitivity, sweating, hand tremours, thin skin,brittle hair, frequent bowel movements, weight loss or fatigue all of them or majority of them suggest the disease . Thank you.
