Ms. Wilson is a 45-year-old female presents to the clinic with unexplained weight loss, anxiety, heat intolerance and palpitations. Exams reveal mild systolic hypertension, exophthalmos, lid lag, non-pitting leg edema, and a diffusely enlarged painless thyroid gland. Lab results showed depressed TSH and borderline T3 and T4. Hyperthyroidism was confirmed.
