this type of complain as 4- 6 inch indent on head does not occur in myaesthenia gravis. this may be normal as beningn lesion, but thid is not related to graves disease. have you any history of head trauma.if history of trauma then it will improve soon, so nothing to worry. but if no history of truma then consult skin specialist . also you have ache and leg muscle tightness, this may occur in graves disease. please do thyroid profile and if abnormal report than consult physian
