Those symptoms sound really worrying, and it's completely understandable to want answers. With myasthenia gravis, these kinds of symptoms can be meaningful and worth taking seriously.

Here's what each symptom could relate to in MG:

- Dizziness — can be linked to changes in heart rate or blood pressure, which can occur when the nervous system is affected
- Chest pressure — MG can weaken the muscles around the lungs, making breathing feel labored, shallow, or heavy
- Fumbling/weak legs — muscle weakness in the legs is a recognized MG symptom, and it can come on quickly and feel unpredictable The chest pressure is the most important symptom to pay attention to. When breathing muscles weaken in MG, it can sometimes signal the early stages of a myasthenic crisis, which is a medical emergency.

If her breathing feels severely limited or gets worse quickly, contact emergency services immediately. Otherwise, reach out to her neurology team as soon as possible to discuss these new or changing symptoms. Don't wait on this one.
