description | This case report underscores the significance of maintaining a broad list of differential diagnoses, including adrenal insufficiency, when evaluating patients who present with recurring episodes of hypotension and generalized fatigue. It further underscores that T3 thyrotoxicosis can manifest as the initial and sole presenting feature of Graves' disease. Finally, it emphasizes the critical importance of employing a multidisciplinary approach to discharge high-risk patients from the hospital to minimize the risk of acute decompensation. |
