Detailed explanation-1: -When you have myasthenia gravis (MG), rest is important. Rest allows your muscles to recharge so you can go again. It also helps fight the fatigue that many people with MG face. All this makes daily rest and getting a good night’s sleep an important part of learning to live with MG.
Detailed explanation-2: -Symptoms may include an increase in perspiration, lacrimation, salivation and pulmonary secretions, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, bradycardia, and fasciculations. Although cholinergic crisis is an important consideration in the evaluation of the patient in myasthenic crisis, it is uncommon.
