During one of her talk shows in 2017, she lost her balance and collapsed on live TV, making her audience panic, and she appeared on the news everywhere. Subsequently, in 2018, she sat down with GMA for an interview and opened up to the audience about her Graves’ disease and hyperthyroidism diagnosis 19 years ago. She has experienced symptoms for the past few years such as insomnia, rapid heart rate, and bulging eyes, which are symptoms of Graves’ disease.
Graves' Disease an auto-immune disorder, also known as Basedow disease immune disorder in Europe.

Graves’ disease causes hyperthyroidism as the immune system targets the thyroid gland, making it produce excessive thyroid hormones (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, 2019). According to research, 60-80% of hyperthyroidism is caused by Graves’ disease. It is also found that the median age of people having Graves’ disease is 44 years old, with a female-to-male ratio of 6:1, indicating that Graves’ disease is more commonly found in women than men (Hussain et al., 2017).
