➡️ Myasthenia Gravis Overview
Myasthenia Gravis is a chronic neuromuscular disease that leads to muscular weakness of the face, throat, and respiratory system. The condition causes descending paralysis, which means that it originates in the head and descends downward throughout the body. A patient with Myasthenia Gravis may show the following signs and symptoms...
➡️ Signs and Symptoms of Myasthenia Gravis:
- Muscle weakness
- Muscle fatigue
- Ptosis (drooping eyelid)
- Difficulty swallowing
- Slurred speech
- Shallow breathing
- Diminished breath sounds
- Facial weakness
➡️ Myasthenia Gravis Diagnosis:
- Edrophonium test
- Ice pack test
- Blood analysis
- Repetitive nerve stimulation
- Radiographic imaging
- Pulmonary Function Testing
➡️ Treatment for Myasthenia Gravis:
- Bed rest
- Medications such as corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and cholinesterase inhibitors
- Plasmapheresis
- Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg)
- Intubation and mechanical ventilation may be indicated to assist the patient if they have trouble breathing on their own
➡️ Myasthenia Gravis Emotional Support
Another thing to know is that high levels of stress could worsen the condition. So, as a medical professional, it would be highly beneficial to provide emotional support for the patient to help them cope with this condition. We wanted to create this quick video to provide you with a brief overview of this topic. We'll be breaking it down in more detail in a separate video.
