Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes overstimulation of the thyroid, which can lead to puffy eyes, anxiety, fatigue, insomnia and elevated blood pressure.

Williams canceled several shows last week after announcing on social media that she was experiencing flu-like symptoms. Reportedly, rerun episodes will air during her absence.
