Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I visit a neurology department. Please ask, what should be done if a patient with myasthenia gravis experiences respiratory difficulties?Doctor's answer:
Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease with complex causes. Generally, it cannot be completely cured, and treatment can only alleviate symptoms, relieve the condition, and improve the patient's quality of life. The recurrence of breathing difficulties is a sign of a severe condition and may lead to life-threatening situations at any time. Your child should be taken to a regular public hospital for immediate examination. Mechanical ventilation with invasive methods can be used to address the issue, along with medications such as cholinesterase inhibitors and corticosteroids for treatment.
