Early symptoms of myasthenia gravis.

1, blepharoptosis

Blepharoptosis is one of the common symptoms in the early stage of myasthenia gravis. About 70% patients have the first symptom of ptosis, which may occur in patients of any age, especially children. It is suggested that patients should go to the hospital as soon as possible when they find ptosis.

2. Muscle involvement

Patients with myasthenia gravis will also have muscle involvement in the early stage, and patients with systemic rhabdomyositis may be involved. The specific muscle distribution involved varies from person to person. Usually in the early stage of the disease, the muscles dominated by patients' cranial nerves are more easily involved, especially the extraocular muscles.

3. See the ghost of things

Seeing diplopia is also an early symptom of myasthenia gravis. Patients will treat one thing as two when they see something, and cover one eye and it will return to normal. This situation will have a certain impact on normal work and life, so we should actively deal with this symptom when it appears.

4. Speak with a heavy nasal voice

Patients with myasthenia gravis have a heavy nasal sound in the early stage, just like a cold. Some patients have hoarse voices, and severe patients may not make a sound at all.

These are the early symptoms of myasthenia gravis. It is recommended to go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible when these symptoms are found. After the condition is clear, active treatment is needed. In the treatment of this disease, we need to choose the method according to the specific situation, which can be treated with anticholinesterase drugs or improved by plasma exchange. In addition, patients should pay more attention to rest in their daily lives.
