sir, my mother is suffering from myasthenia gravis since last 3 years. now after thymectomy she is not normal now. she is taking mystein tablets, omnacortil,azoran. but muscles are still weak generally the respiratory muscles. she is also complaining about pain in lungs.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Possibility of neuromuscular weakness is more likely in her case. It is very common complication after thymectomize surgery. She might need increasing dose of my stein, omnacortil and Azorean tablets. If she does not improve after this then Intravenous bolus steroid injection should be started. Also get done chest x-ray and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) to rule out atelectasis (partial collapse of part of lung) due to diaphragm weakness. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
