What Are the Common Symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis?

The primary symptom of Myasthenia Gravis is muscle weakness, which tends to worsen with activity and improve with rest. Commonly affected muscles include:

  • Eye Muscles: Leading to drooping eyelids (ptosis) and double vision (diplopia).
  • Facial Muscles: Causing difficulty with facial expressions, chewing, swallowing, and speaking.
  • Limb Muscles: Resulting in weakness in the arms, hands, legs, and neck.
  • Respiratory Muscles: In severe cases, breathing can be compromised, a condition known as myasthenic crisis.
