Patient's question:
I've been feeling weak in all my limbs for a while, and I lack energy when doing things. My whole body feels weak. My friends are worried that I might have Myasthenia Gravis, and I'm also very worried. Therefore, I want to ask you, what are the initial symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis? Do my symptoms match?Doctor's answer:
The initial manifestations of myasthenia gravis vary depending on the type. For example, in ocular myasthenia gravis, symptoms may include drooping eyelids and impaired eye movement. If it is generalized myasthenia gravis, it can indeed lead to generalized muscle weakness, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as chest tightness and difficulty breathing. However, whether your current symptoms are caused by myasthenia gravis, it is recommended to visit a neurology doctor at the hospital for diagnosis. Tests such as chest CT, repetitive nerve stimulation electromyography, and neostigmine test are necessary for confirmation.
