Could Thynoma And Weakness Be Symptoms Of Mysthenia Gravis?
Hi, I mLaurie and my doctor recently did a CT of my chest to see ifI had myestenia Gravis. The Ct showed some finding of thynoma. I have had weakness inmy arms but no other symptoms. I was wondering what you think of this diagnosis? How do I know if it is indeed Mysthenia Gravis? Also, 1 of the 3 antibody tests came back positive forthis disease, the one with the least percentage.
Dear Friend. Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail. I understand your concern. Thymoma needs to be excluded when you are suspecting Myaesthenia Gravis. Usually symptoms include weakness in all limbs of the body including the Eyelids specially during the evening part. We can clinically make the diagnosis by Edrophonium test. You can discuss with your doctor regarding that This is my best advice for you with the available details, if you have any further query, please ask us. Stay Healthy
