What are the early symptoms of myasthenia gravis

summary

Recently, I don't know what it is. I always feel that I have no strength in my whole body. Sometimes I fall when I walk. I have difficulty breathing. I go to the hospital for examination. The doctor says it's myasthenia gravis. Better after treatment, let's take a look at the early symptoms of myasthenia gravis.

What are the early symptoms of myasthenia gravis

Symptom 1: ptosis: also known as drooping eyelids. According to our analysis of 3100 cases of myasthenia gravis, 73% of them had ptosis as the first symptom. It can be seen at any age, especially in children. In the early stage, it was mostly on one side, and in the late stage, it was mostly on both sides. In many patients, when the eyelid on one side was staring up, the eyelid on the other side was drooping down, that is to say, the left and right eyelids appeared alternately.

Symptom 2: diplopia: double vision. If you look with two eyes together, one thing is regarded as two; if you cover one eye, you see one. Very young children can not describe diplopia, often compensatory tilt head, torticollis, in order to make diplopia disappear and see clearly, serious cases can also show strabismus.

Symptom 3: general weakness: from the appearance of good skin and meat, there is no muscle atrophy, as if there is no disease; but patients often feel serious general weakness, shoulder can't lift, hand can't lift, squat down; can't stand up, even wash face and comb hair rely on other people's help. The patient's symptoms of myasthenia improved significantly after a short rest, and a little work would aggravate significantly, as if pretending. Most of these patients are accompanied with blepharoptosis, diplopia and other symptoms.

matters needing attention

I would also like to emphasize: the impact of emotional regulation and seasonal changes on the disease. Myasthenia gravis patients tend to get worse in bad mood and cold seasons in winter and spring. Patients must keep a good mood, improve their confidence to overcome the disease, pay attention to keeping warm and cold in winter and spring, reasonably use the effective food for myasthenia gravis, and prevent the recurrence of the disease.
