"Star Wars" actor Daisy Ridley revealed in a new interview that she has been diagnosed with Graves' disease.
Ridley, 32, told Women's Health magazine in an interview published Tuesday that she was diagnosed in September after she experienced bouts of hot flashes and fatigue.
She said she started to feel ill after she filmed the thriller "Magpie," in which she plays Anette, a stay-at-home mother whose husband falls in love with a famous actress.
"I thought, 'Well, I’ve just played a really stressful role; presumably that’s why I feel poorly,'" she told the magazine.
An endocrinologist explained that her symptoms, which included weight loss, hand tremors, fatigue and a racing heart, were signs of the autoimmune disease.
