What is muscle weakness and what is muscle weakness?

Hello, general weakness is just a symptom. There are many causes of general weakness, such as certain systemic diseases (such as hyperthyroidism, diabetes, inflammation of the genitourinary system, etc.), psychological problems (such as depression), and so on.

Muscle weakness is mainly manifested as partial or systemic skeletal muscle weakness, easy fatigue, aggravation of symptoms after activity, and reduction of symptoms after rest, generally severe, long course of disease, and refractory to treatment. It can occur in all age groups, mostly between 15 and 35 years of age, with a male-to-female ratio. The onset of the disease varies rapidly and is often insidious.

Symptoms may be temporarily reduced, relieved,**, and worsened, often alternating and partially recovering with rest and anticholinesterase drugs**. Pediatric myasthenia gravis refers to the onset of neonatal to adolescent disease, and most of them are confined to the extraocular muscles, except for a few generalized ones. To put it simply, it is a condition in which the muscles are unable to provide the normal "functioning" of the body due to various reasons.

How long has this been happening? It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up first, and then take ** after the diagnosis.

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease in which transmission is impaired at the neuromuscular junction due to a decrease in acetylcholine receptors. It can also involve myocardium and smooth muscle, presenting with corresponding visceral symptoms. Myasthenia gravis rarely has a family history (familial hereditary myasthenia gravis).

Muscle weakness itself is also an autoimmune disease. It is mainly the production of anti-acetylamide receptor antibodies in the body, which affect the neuromuscular junction and produce clinical weakness. It affects many different muscles, such as the muscles that control the eyeballs, the muscles that control facial expressions, chewing, speaking, swallowing, and the limbs.

Since each person has different muscles affected, the clinical symptoms are different.

I've done an electrogram or an MRI.

Is it diagnosed now? Have you ever had a check-up?

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease that, like other autoimmune diseases, is caused by a disorder of the body's immune system that disrupts the body's normal "order". Myasthenia gravis is the attack of acetylcholine receptors in the postsynaptic membrane of the neuromuscular junction by autoantibodies, and when the function of this important receptor is abnormal, it will directly affect the normal conduction and action of neuromuscles.

It is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up.

In the outpatient clinic, some patients say that their limbs are weak or muscle atrophy, considering that it is a manifestation of some muscle weakness, what can cause muscle weakness? In fact, from clinical analysis, there are many types of diseases that can cause muscle weakness, including orthopedic problems and some problems in other departments, such as the following:

1. Orthopedics is often caused by damage to spinal nerves, such as common cervical spondylosis, including cervical disc herniation or cervical spinal stenosis.

2. The lumbar intervertebral disc herniation and lumbar spinal stenosis of the lumbar spine are all due to the weakness caused by compression and injury of the cervical and lumbar spinal cords, as well as thoracic spinal stenosis, etc., which are similar reasons.

3. In the peripheral nerves, such as the ulnar nerve, radial nerve, median nerve of the upper limbs, the common peroneal nerve of the lower limbs, and even the sciatic nerve, these peripheral nerves are like the middle reaches of the river, and if something goes wrong, it may also cause muscle weakness.

4. In addition to orthopedic problems, some diseases of the whole body, such as inflammation of the spinal cord itself, such as myelitis or other problems, and even systemic endocrine electrolyte disorders, potassium, sodium, calcium, chloride, etc., may also cause muscle weakness.

Therefore, in order to determine what causes muscle weakness, it is necessary to combine the patient's medical history, clinical physical examination, and many necessary auxiliary examinations to conduct a comprehensive analysis and judgment, and it is even likely that many departments need to consult and negotiate to find the specific cause.

Muscle weakness, including trunk muscle weakness and limb muscle weakness, if manifested as weakness of the limbs, in severe cases, there may be inability to move, long-term bed rest, if it is trunk muscle weakness, the patient may have difficulty in turning over and moving, etc., causing muscle weakness, which can be seen in a variety of diseases, such as myasthenia gravis, patients can appear in general manifestations of limb static proximal muscle weakness.

In severe cases, it may cause respiratory muscle involvement, and respiratory muscle paralysis may also occur, which can easily lead to respiratory failure and death of the patient, such as in the case of Guillain-Barré syndrome, it may also accumulate ventilators. If the patient is considered to have hypokalemic periodic paralysis, the proximal muscle strength of the extremities is mainly potassium supplementation**, and most patients can be clinically treated with potassium supplementation**.

If the patient is considered to be caused by cerebrovascular disease, it is generally manifested as unilateral limb muscle weakness, mainly the primary disease, and acupuncture and moxibustion should be carried out at the same time.

Muscle weakness is a less common condition that typically presents with generalized weakness and decreased muscle tone. At the moment, ** is not clear. If there is an obstacle in the joints of the innervated muscles, the nerve motor signals cannot be transmitted smoothly.

Myasthenia gravis is hypothesized to be related to genetics, infection, and autoimmunity. Thymic hyperplasia may be seen in some patients with myasthenia gravis. If thymus disease**, muscle weakness is also relieved.

Myasthenia is a chronic condition caused by a neuromuscular conduction disorder. It is mainly caused by the lesions of acetylcholine receptors in the postsynaptic membrane, which are mostly related to immune mechanism disorders and genetic factors. The clinical feature is that the affected skeletal muscles are easily fatigued, with extraocular muscle involvement being the most common, mainly manifested as drooping eyelids, diplopia, etc., which can be relieved by rest and anticholinesterase drugs**, and worsened in the afternoon or night.

At the beginning of the disease, muscle weakness in the extraocular muscles, throat muscles, or limbs may also occur alone. This is followed by the gradual involvement of more skeletal muscles, from the face and limbs to the respiratory muscles, affecting normal life and even life-threatening.

Muscle weakness generally refers to myasthenia gravis. Myasthenia gravis is a common neurology disease and belongs to the category of myopathy. The prevalence of myasthenia gravis is generally per 100,000 people, and its incidence is related to gender and age, and can occur in any age group, but there are two peaks in the age of onset, one peak is for women aged 11-40 years, and the other peak is for men aged 51-70 years.

Myasthenia gravis is usually caused by infection, excessive fatigue, trauma, menstrual cycle, childbirth, exposure to low or high temperatures, and inappropriate medication. Its clinical manifestations are mainly fatigue and muscle weakness of skeletal muscle, which is prominently manifested as aggravation after activity and alleviation after rest. The most commonly affected muscles are the extraocular muscles, which can manifest as ptosis, impaired eye motility, diplopia, and vision pairs.

Facial expression muscles are affected, manifesting as a wry smile and even a mask expression with lips turned out. Pharyngeal muscle involvement manifests as nasal regurgitation, food and secretions that can easily cause suffocation, slurred speech, a strong nasal voice, and a deep intonation. Involvement of limb muscles can make it difficult to comb hair, climb ladders, walk, run, or climb stairs.

Respiratory muscle involvement, which can be manifested as shortness of breath after exertional activity in the early stage, and shortness of breath, cyanosis, and dyspnea may also occur in severe cases.

Muscle weakness refers to a significant decrease in the strength of one or more muscles, and the muscles are unable to move normally, mainly due to central and peripheral nervous system lesions, muscle lesions and neuromuscular junction lesions.

Muscle weakness is a physical disease, both congenital and acquired, and it is not very good**.

Muscle weakness** includes infectious diseases, medications, neurological disorders, endocrine disorders, and inflammatory myopathies. Muscle weakness refers to weakness of muscle contraction due to impaired striated muscle function or neuro-muscle conduction disorders. It can be divided into two categories: true myasthenia and sensory myasthenia.

The former refers to the muscles producing less force than expected and is the main symptom of various skeletal muscle diseases; The latter refers to when the patient feels that more effort is required than normal when applying force, but the actual muscle strength is normal. There are many factors that cause muscle weakness, as follows: (1) Infectious diseases:

Various infections, especially viral infections, such as influenza virus and Epstein-Barr virus infection. (2) Drug factors: such as amiodarone, lamivudine, chemotherapy drugs, glucocorticoids, interferon, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, penicillin, statins, lipid-lowering drugs, etc.

3) Nervous system diseases: cerebrovascular diseases, demyelinating diseases, peripheral neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, etc.

The causes of muscle weakness generally include the following:

1.Genetic factors. Children with a history of muscle weakness in both parents are more likely to be affected.

2.Abnormal autoimmune system function. It is common to suffer from certain autoimmune diseases, such as peripheral nerve disease, muscular dystrophy or thymoma, etc., due to the low immunity of the body, resulting in muscle contraction dysfunction, decreased muscle tone, and muscle weakness symptoms.

3.Adverse environmental or dietary factors. For example, long-term exposure to air pollution or long-term picky eating or picky eating, which leads to malnutrition, may lead to muscle weakness.

Muscle weakness is a disease, which is more severe mixed muscle weakness at the onset of the disease, which is caused by the dysfunction of a certain organ tube in the human body, and can also be operated on with drugs.

Myasthenia is a neurology disease, which refers to the dysfunction of transmission at the neuromuscular junction caused by autoimmune causes, resulting in partial or systemic skeletal muscle weakness and easy fatigue, which will worsen after activity.

This is a worldwide problem, now all countries in the world are looking for this best method, our country has many ways to do it in traditional Chinese medicine, this disease seems to be related to the nervous system, the words are different, and now this disease is very tricky.

It is a disease, that is, muscle weakness. Inability to control one's muscles. For example, the eye muscles are weak, and the eyelids cannot be raised. Muscular nerves are not controlled.

Why are you asking questions here, this disease is very serious, you should go to the hospital quickly, ask a professional doctor, and know to cherish every day now.

Muscle weakness is a decrease in the ability of a muscle or group of muscle groups to produce tension and become in a state of excessive relaxation. is an autoimmune disease.

Muscle weakness is a state of relaxation in which muscle tone is reduced in one or more groups of muscle groups. Diseases of the central nervous system, peripheral nerves, and muscles themselves can cause symptoms of muscle weakness. Diseases such as brain tumors, cerebral hematomas, cervical spondylosis, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, etc., can cause muscle atrophy.

In these disorders, myasthenia gravis is more common, and the first symptom is paralysis of the extraocular muscles, which produces diplopia and ptosis of the upper eyelids, which can be confirmed by neostigmine test.

Muscle weakness is caused by several causes, one is that there is a problem in the body that causes muscle weakness, and the other is that there is a lack of minerals that causes muscle weakness.

Myasthenia is an autoimmune disease, such as myasthenia gravis, which cannot be completely stabilized through science. For example, periodic paralysis, especially muscle weakness caused by hypokalemic periodic paralysis, the patient's muscle weakness symptoms are relatively severe, and after potassium supplementation, muscle weakness can be completely recovered, but it is easy. If it is not clear, if it is caused by some autoimmune diseases, then the effect is not good.
