Myasthenia Gravis Symptoms
Myasthenia Gravis Symptoms
Our Stanford Neuromuscular Program doctors have years of experience distinguishing one type of neuromuscular disease from another. They often can reach an accurate diagnosis faster than other doctors.
The symptoms of myasthenia gravis can resemble those of other neuromuscular disorders, as well as some diseases of the eyes and brain. Because myasthenia gravis symptoms often can be controlled or even reversed with prompt treatment, it is important to get an accurate diagnosis as quickly as possible.
In general, myasthenia gravis signs and symptoms may include:
- Drooping eyelid, called ptosis
- Double vision or blurred vision
- Weakness in the arms and legs
- Slurred speech
- Problems with chewing or swallowing
- Difficulty breathing
- Fatiguing easily
