Myasthenia Gravis treatment in Tlalpan

Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder in which communication between the nerves and the muscles is altered, producing muscle weakness that tends to increase with activity and improve with rest.

Common symptoms:

• Drooping of one or both eyelids
• Double vision
• Difficulty swallowing, speaking, or chewing
• Weakness in the arms or legs that worsens with exertion

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist is the central professional in the evaluation of this condition, with support from the internist and, in children, the pediatrician or pediatric neurologist.

When to seek care? With fluctuating muscle weakness or vision and swallowing problems that change throughout the day, it is advisable to seek an evaluation. Identifying the condition in time makes appropriate medical care easier.
