6. Bulging Eyes

Healthline

Bulging eyes, also known as exophthalmos, are described as the eyes sticking out more than usual and seeing more of the whites of the eyes than usual. Some reasons for bulging eyes include infection and injury, bleeding behind the eyes, and even tumors. But the most common reason for bulging eyes is usually due to hyperthyroidism, which is when the thyroid gland produces too much thyroid hormones. One cause of hyperthyroidism is Grave’s disease, an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the healthy tissue of the thyroid gland. Other symptoms of Grave’s is anxiety, a rapid pulse, and weight loss. If you are experiencing bulging eyes, alongside any of these other signs, talk about it with your doctor.
