Hyperthyroidism, characteristic of Graves' disease, presents with symptoms such as tachycardia, fatigue, and heat intolerance due to an overactive thyroid gland. Weight gain and muscle weakness are associated with hypothyroidism while dehydration, metabolic acidosis, and hypotension are not commonly seen in Graves' disease. Hyperglycemia, ketonuria, and glucosuria are associated with diabetes mellitus.
