(CNN) - Actress Daisy Ridley says she’s been diagnosed with Graves’ disease.

During an interview with “Women’s Health,” the “Star Wars” actress said she started to feel different while working on the film “Magpie.”

Among her symptoms are an increased heart rate, fatigue and tremors.

Ridley says her endocrinologist confirmed that she has Graves’ disease, which affects the thyroid gland.

Since then, Ridley says she’s cut back on gluten and takes daily medication.

According to the Mayo Clinic, anyone can get Graves’ disease, but it’s more common for women and people who are more than 30 years old.
