All skeletal muscles can be affected, with extraocular muscles being the most common, followed by the facial and throat muscles and proximal extremities. Muscle weakness usually begins in one group of muscle groups and gradually expands.

    The first symptom is usually one or both extraocular muscle paralysis, such as ptosis, strabismus, and diplopia, and in severe cases, significant restriction of eye movement, or even immobilization, but the pupillary sphincter is not affected. When the facial and throat muscles are affected, there is an indifferent, wry smile; continuous chewing weakness, choking on water, difficulty swallowing; Nasal speech, dysphonia, etc. When the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles are involved, the neck is weak, the head is difficult to rise, and the neck is turned and the shoulders shrug weakly.

    Extremity muscle involvement is characterized by proximal weakness, which manifests as difficulty raising arms, combing hair, and climbing stairs, and tendon reflexes are usually unaffected and sensational is normal. Involvement of respiratory muscles often leads to adverse outcomes and is referred to as a "crisis" when severe dyspnea occurs. Predisposing factors include respiratory tract infections, surgery (including thymectomy), mental stress, systemic illness, etc.

    Occasionally, myocardium may be affected, which can cause sudden death.

    In addition to myasthenic symptoms, MG can be associated with thymoma and thymic hyperplasia, as well as other autoimmune-related conditions such as hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, neuromyelitis optica, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis, rheumatoid arthritis, and Lambert-Eaton myasthenia syndrome (LEMS).
