Does having epilepsy make myasthenia gravis symptoms worse?

Based on available information about myasthenia gravis triggers and factors that worsen symptoms, epilepsy itself isn't specifically mentioned as something that makes MG symptoms worse.

However, this is an important area where caution is needed. Some medications used to treat epilepsy could potentially affect MG symptoms, as certain drugs are known to worsen myasthenia gravis. If you're taking seizure medications, it's crucial to make sure all your doctors know about your MG diagnosis.

Your neurologist should be aware of both conditions to help choose treatments that work safely together. They can review your specific medications to ensure they won't trigger MG symptoms while still managing your seizures effectively.

If you notice your MG symptoms changing after starting or adjusting any seizure medications, reach out to your healthcare team right away. They can help determine if there's a connection and adjust your treatment plan if needed.
