Actress Daisy Ridley, known for her role as Rey Skywalker in the Star Wars universe and more recently as Trudy Ederle in Young Woman and the Sea, has opened up about being diagnosed with Graves’ disease.

“It was funny, I was like, ‘Oh, I just thought I was annoyed at the world,’ but turns out everything is functioning so quickly, you can’t chill out,” she told Women’s Health Magazine.

Ridley had been experiencing “hot flashes and fatigue,” and went to see an endocrinologist. She also had other symptoms like a racing heart rate, weight loss and hand tremors. She was diagnosed in September 2023, the publication said. 

Lucia Stafford, a Canadian runner competing in athletics at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, was diagnosed with Graves’ disease in high school. The 25-year-old from London, Ont., spoke about it to Running Magazine in 2018.

“The symptoms are weight loss, anxiety, an elevated heart rate, asthma attacks and fatigue. I couldn’t finish workouts or hit prescribed paces. I felt terrible,” she told the publication.
