Thyroid Graves Disease: Anyone else?

I was diagnosed with Graves Disease over 20 years ago; hyperthyroidism and tachycardia. I do not have any symptoms related to my eyes, but I did have dermopathy of my lower legs. I had thyroid ablation 7-8 years ago. The dermopathy improved for some time but is returning. I have developed heat intolerance and exercise induced tachycardia (SVT). I’m looking for information on the heat intolerance which seems to precede the tachycardia.

Welcome @annieliz, I'm not sure this will answer all of your questions but I did find an interesting article that may help.

"On the other side, hyperthyroidism, usually caused by Graves' disease, occurs when the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone. This causes the metabolism to work harder, and the body's temperature to increase." --- Heat Intolerance: What Is It and How Can You Treat It?: https://www.imaware.health/blog/heat-intolerance

Have you discussed the new symptoms with your doctor to see if they have some suggestions to help with the heat intolerance?
