Weakness in the lower limbs, unsteady walking, chest tightness, is ALS?

So what are the symptoms of ALS?

1. Muscle weakness and muscle atrophy.

Muscle weakness and muscle atrophy are the most obvious symptoms of ALS, which can lead to clumsiness and weakness in one or both finger movements, and severe atrophy of the small muscles of the hand after aggravation, especially the damage to the thenar muscles and muscles. With the prolongation of the onset time, the patient's hands appear in the shape of eagle claws, and will gradually extend to the forearm, upper arm and other parts, and then aggravate the patient's condition.

2. Fasciculation.

The affected parts will produce obvious symptoms of fasciculation, and will also affect the health of the palate, pharynx, larynx and other parts, all of which will produce different degrees of muscle atrophy and weakness, resulting in the patient's arthria, accompanied by dysphagia and decreased masticatory function. Due to the damage of the bilateral corticobulbar tracts, it is easy to produce pseudobulbar paralysis symptoms, and severe cases should seek medical attention immediately.

3. Pyramidal tract sign.

If ALS patients have a longer onset time, both upper limbs will also be affected, resulting in muscle contraction and hypotonia, but tendon reflexes are severely hyperactive. In general, patients do not have objective sensory disorders, but are prone to subjective sensory symptoms, such as numbness.

4. Other performances.

Only a few patients will have dementia or paresthesias, and in severe cases, their bladder and rectal function will be impaired to varying degrees, and sometimes memory will be affected, which will bring trouble to life and work.

Weakness of the lower limbs, unsteady walking, chest tightness is a very common clinical manifestation, do not make an easy judgment by yourself, or check to confirm the diagnosis.

ALS is less likely and has a lower incidence of ALS, so you don't have to think too much about it, and it is recommended that you continue to observe to see if the symptoms persist. If it persists, go to the hospital for a check-up.

There is nothing wrong with considering your situation, it's just that you are too worried. Because many people are stuffy at home during the new coronavirus, lack of limb movement and lack of oxygen, you usually pay attention to ventilation at home, and exercise properly, and now you can wear a mask to go out properly. Try to go to places where there are fewer people.

It is important to consider changes caused by cerebellar lesions or sacral stenosis, which may affect walking.

Analysis: Your condition is not easy to judge from the symptoms alone.

Guiding opinions: It is recommended that Hu Kong go to the first blind hospital for examination as soon as possible, and diagnose the diagnosis as soon as possible and target the original slag **** to avoid delay.

ALS, also known as motor neuron disease, is a chronic condition. The clinical characteristics of this disease are: 1. Insidious onset and progressive aggravation, mainly manifested as distal limb muscle atrophy, weakness, hypertonia, fasciculation, difficulty in moving, bulbar paralysis, dysarthria, choking on eating, breathing and swallowing disorders, hyperreflexia and positive pathological features. There is usually no sensory impairment.

2. The disease is most affected by middle-aged people, mostly between 40-50 years old, but it can also occur in childhood and after the age of 70. There are 2-3 times more males than females, and some patients have a positive family history, usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. The initial symptoms of ALS are:

1. Asymmetrical weakness of the limbs, or unclear arthria, the onset of the upper limbs mostly starts from the weakness of the shoulder, sometimes after a slight local injury, the distal weakness is often more obvious, manifested as holding weakness, about 35% of the patients are first in the upper limbs, about 40% of the patients start from the lumbar segment of the spinal cord, these patients are limp due to unilateral foot drop or difficult to stand due to weakness. 2. Early muscle cramps are common, and they are mostly in the proximal and distal muscles of the lower limbs affected. Muscle beats can be a cause for concern, and sometimes muscles beat months before weakness and muscle atrophy.

3. With the development of the course of the disease, almost all patients with the onset of limbs will have bulbar symptoms, and the weakness will be further aggravated, and the muscle beating will become insignificant. Conversely, people who develop bulbar symptoms end up with extremity symptoms.

It can only be diagnosed through various examinations in large public hospitals of Western medicine, and the diagnosis cannot be confirmed by these three points alone.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Also called motor neuron disease.

The latter name is commonly used in England and in France.

Charcot disease, and the United States is also called.

Lou Gehrig's disease. In China, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and motor neuron disease are commonly mixed.

Hello, your symptoms are not necessarily ALS. Muscle tremors are not a symptom specific to neurons, and as a radiculopathy, symptoms of flesh throbbing occur. There are many causes of flesh beats, one of which is increased sensitivity of the muscle membrane, which is an alteration of denervation.

In addition to the fact that the flesh jump must be combined with muscle atrophy and muscle weakness, the bare meat jump does not have muscle atrophy and muscle weakness, and it cannot be said to be an exact lesion. However, it is recommended that you go to the neurology department of the hospital as soon as possible for a systematic examination.

Muscle wasting is one of the clinical manifestations of ALS, and not all muscle wasting is ALS. First of all, ALS is an amyotrophic lateral sclerosis syndrome, mainly after the injury of upper motor neuron and lower motor neuron, resulting in gradual weakness and atrophy of the ball, limb trunk, chest and abdominal muscles, ALS is a gradual aggravation process, and even the muscles of the whole body gradually atrophy, and finally cause difficulty swallowing, difficulty breathing, and eventually death. There are many other causes of muscle atrophy, such as disuse atrophy, so muscle atrophy cannot be said to be ALS, but ALS can definitely cause muscle atrophy.

Not necessarily, it is better to find a few more professional hospitals to check and confirm.

First of all, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up! Secondly, don't think about the bad things, how long have you been weak muscles, you know your own physical condition better, what is your mental state, and whether you can't go out for a long time, and rarely move, all of which will cause muscle soreness and weakness.

Don't worry, no, there are many causes of muscle weakness, I have rheumatism, bone and joint disease, and I feel my muscle weakness.

There are many causes of muscle weakness, such as colds and fevers, so if you are worried, you should go to the hospital for a check-up.

Probably not, sometimes there is a problem with the cervical spine that can also cause muscle weakness, don't scare yourself.

Muscle weakness is muscle weakness, and ALS is ALS. These are two diseases.

Basically, no, rest assured, you can go to the hospital for examination, the hospital is professional, don't diagnose yourself.

It's best to check it out, just in case.

Maybe I've been exercising too little lately, so it's good to exercise more.

Typical symptoms: upper and lower motor nervous system involvement is the main manifestation. Common symptoms:

Muscle weakness, muscle atrophy, and fasciculations are manifestations of lower motor nervous system involvement; Hypertonia, hyperreflexia, and positive pathological signs are the main manifestations of upper motor nervous system involvement. Other symptoms: the presenting symptom can be a variety of manifestations depending on the patient.

Most patients have asymmetrical local limb weakness, such as stiff walking, procrastination, easy falling, and inflexible finger movement. Bulbar symptoms such as dysphagia and dysarthria. A small number of patients present with respiratory symptoms.

It is not a problem with the cerebellum, if there is a problem with the cerebellum, it is not just the lower limbs that are unstable and unstable.

The early symptoms of ALS are most common muscle cramps, and they mostly occur in the proximal and distal muscles of the lower limbs that are more affected, so it is necessary to pay attention to the muscle beating when there is a muscle, and with the aggravation of the disease, the weakness of the limbs will be more obvious, but the muscle beating becomes less obvious, and it will gradually spread to other parts of the body.
