Brief Answer:
Myasthenia gravis to consider.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.
I have read your query and here is my advice.
Symptoms you describe point towards Myasthenia gravis as a possible condition.
This is especially true if your symptoms improve with rest and are worsened by physical activity.
It is advisable to see a Neurologist and to get evaluated further clinically and by tests ( edrophonium test, ice pack test, etc. ) in order to get a correct diagnosis.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
