10. Difficulty Breathing
When myasthenia gravis affects muscles such as diaphragm and pharynx, it does not only bring changes in voice or speech, it may also result in difficulties in breathing. Shortness of breath or medically known as dyspnea is a serious myasthenia gravis symptom that should not be neglected by any patient.
When the patient experiences shortness of breath, it means that the muscles responsible for breathing have become weak and are having a hard time functioning well. It may lead to respiratory failure accompanied by tightening of the chest if no proper treatment has been done. It is ideal to have it checked by your doctor as soon as possible.
