I get dizziness for a few seconds when I stand u too fast. I'm guessing it's one of the many meds I'm on. It's only a couple of times a day. Though I had the same as a teenager which is common for that age.

Hey be sure to have her wear an eye mask while she sleeps. That way when she wakes up the transition is easier. The more dark the better at first then ease her into the light.
Ask her how her head feels throughout the day. Ocular MG flare ups only get better after much rest after a dizzy spell.

Is dizziness common in people with ocular and generalized myasthenia gravis?

Dizziness can occur with ocular MG, particularly when it's related to double vision. When the eye muscles become weak or fatigued and cause the eyes to become misaligned, double vision can develop. This double vision may then lead to symptoms Show Full Answer

Is dizziness common in people with ocular and generalized myasthenia gravis?

Dizziness can occur with ocular MG, particularly when it's related to double vision. When the eye muscles become weak or fatigued and cause the eyes to become misaligned, double vision can develop. This double vision may then lead to symptoms including:

* Dizziness
* Headache
* Nausea

The dizziness happens because your brain is trying to process two images instead of one, which can affect balance and spatial orientation.

Since your daughter has both ocular and generalized MG, the eye muscle weakness causing double vision could be contributing to her dizziness. The good news is that like other MG symptoms, this may improve with rest.

It's important to discuss her dizziness with her doctor, especially if it's frequent or affecting her daily activities. They can help determine if it's related to her MG symptoms or if other factors might be involved, and adjust her treatment plan accordingly.
