Myasthenia Gravis is a chronic autoimmune condition where communication between nerves and muscles becomes disrupted, leading to muscle weakness that typically worsens with activity and improves with rest. Symptoms can vary from mild to severe and may fluctuate throughout the day.
Drooping Eyelids (Ptosis) – One or both eyelids may droop, often becoming more noticeable as the day progresses or after prolonged activity.
Double Vision (Diplopia) – Weak eye muscles can cause blurred or double vision, which may come and go or worsen with eye strain.
Difficulty Speaking (Dysarthria) – Speech may sound slurred, soft, or nasal due to weakness in the muscles used for talking.
Problems with Chewing and Swallowing – Muscle fatigue can make it hard to chew food properly or swallow safely, especially during longer meals.
Weakness in Arms and Legs – Limb muscles may feel weak or tired, making it difficult to lift objects, climb stairs, or perform daily tasks.
Facial Muscle Weakness – Reduced strength in facial muscles may lead to a less expressive face or difficulty smiling.
Shortness of Breath – In more severe cases, weakness in the breathing muscles can make breathing shallow or difficult.
Fatigue That Worsens with Activity – Muscle strength tends to decrease with repeated use and improves after rest, which is a key feature of the condition.
Living with Myasthenia Gravis can be unpredictable and exhausting, with symptoms that affect vision, speech, movement, and even breathing.

Common symptoms include drooping eyelids, double vision, muscle weakness, difficulty speaking, chewing or swallowing problems, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
Myasthenia Gravis occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks communication points between nerves and muscles, preventing muscles from working properly.
MG can affect people of any age, but it is more commonly diagnosed in women under 40 and men over 60.
Doctors may use blood tests, nerve conduction studies, muscle response testing, imaging scans, and physical examinations to confirm the diagnosis.
Yes. In severe cases, weakness of the respiratory muscles can make breathing difficult and may require urgent medical attention.
