You probably know that people with MG often have other autoimmune conditions. I often have numbness on the left side of my face; prior to my MG diagnosis I was misdiagnosed with TIAs, minor strokes. Then the vertigo began and after some severe episodes and even a brief hospitalization I was diagnosed with vestibular migraine. It is also referred to as silent migraine since there is usually no pain. I have some pain with them but it is like a minor tension headache. It doesn't happen frequently but when it does happen one side of my face feels numb; I may have visual aura, usually zigzag lines or blank areas in my vision leading up to the full on migraine with vertigo. Most times I have the aura and it clears up without going further. I always feel extra tired afterwards. I don't know if that will help you. It isn't MG for me but it's a cousin, another autoimmune quirk. I have only had 7 bouts of vertigo in the last 5 years and they been in two clusters. Each bout has lasted anywhere from hours to as long as 4 days. Stress seems to be a factor. I had 3 bouts during Covid and 4 bouts in 2025 just before my husband passed.
Are you experiencing vertigo and facial numbness with myasthenia gravis?
Facial numbness isn't a typical symptom of MG, though facial weakness and changes in facial muscles are common. MG usually causes muscle weakness and fatigue rather than numbness.
However, some MGteam members have reported experiencing numbness Show Full Answer
