What Are Common Causes of Causes of Muscle Weakness?
Myasthenia is itself an autoimmune disease. It is mainly the production of antibodies against acetamide receptors in the body, which affects the neuromuscular junction and causes clinical weakness. It affects many different muscles, such as the muscles that control the eyeballs, the facial expressions, the muscles that chew, talk, swallow, and the limbs. Because each person has different muscles affected, clinical symptoms can vary.

- Ninety percent of patients suffer from muscle damage around the eyes, which results in drooping eyelids or blurred vision (double vision). A few patients' symptoms are limited to the eyes, but most patients will experience other muscle weakness symptoms, such as difficulty swallowing, speaking softly or nasally, falling jaw, weakness in limbs, etc. The most terrible is the weakness of breathing muscles In severe cases, it can even lead to death.
- The symptoms of patients with myasthenia are often ups and downs. The weakness is usually more obvious after continuous exercise for a period of time, or the symptoms worsen in the evening or evening. After a period of rest, the symptoms will be reduced.
