Which disease is characterized by irritability, tachycardia, and weight loss?

Hashimoto's thyroiditis
Thyroid cancer
Grave's disease
Subacute thyroiditis

The correct answer is: Grave's disease

Grave's disease is characterized by irritability, tachycardia, and weight loss. This autoimmune disorder results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones, leading to symptoms such as increased metabolism (resulting in weight loss), rapid heart rate (tachycardia), and irritability. Options A, B, and D are not associated with these specific symptoms. Hashimoto's thyroiditis typically presents with hypothyroid symptoms, while thyroid cancer and subacute thyroiditis have different clinical features compared to those described in the question stem.
