While MG itself doesn't directly cause pain, muscle discomfort can occur for a few reasons. The strain from muscle weakness can lead to aches, and some MG medications, particularly cholinesterase inhibitors like pyridostigmine, may cause muscle cramps and pain. If you're experiencing chest muscle pain, it's important to have this evaluated since MG can affect cardiac muscles. Regarding blood pressure, some MG medications can affect blood pressure levels. While corticosteroids commonly used in MG treatment tend to increase blood pressure, other medications might cause changes in blood pressure. It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and discuss any concerns about medication side effects with your healthcare provider.
