Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I go to the neurology department for a check-up. Could you please tell me what the early symptoms of myasthenia gravis are?Doctor's answer:
Myasthenia gravis is caused by abnormalities at the neuromuscular junction, primarily manifesting as hand and leg muscle fatigue and weakness, drooping eyelids, dry swallowing difficulties, and facial muscle stiffness. In more severe cases, it can lead to breathing difficulties. What you described may not necessarily be myasthenia gravis and requires a thorough neurological and physical examination, as well as drug testing, to confirm the diagnosis.
