Brief Answer:
Anti body test, EMG

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome

I appreciate your concern

Myasthenia Gravis involves muscular weakness and fatigability. Initial presentations are usually difficulty in swallowing and double vision/diplopia complaints. Facial muscle then proximal muscle weakness with progression in an asymmetric pattern can occur. Finally , severe progressive disease can affect the respiratory muscles itself.

Acetylcholine receptor antibody test should be done in a patient that presents with the above symptoms. For confirmation EMG (Electromyography) can be performed. An x ray chest should also be done to look for associated thymoma. If present in a patient with M.G , removal of the thymoma leads to improvement in such patients.

Let me know if you have any query

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
