Myasthenia gravis<\/span><\/a> is an autoimmune problem that causes muscle weakness throughout your body.\u00a0 Myasthenic crisis (MC) is when your breathing muscles become very weak, often requiring a breathing machine (ventilator) to help you breathe. Myasthenic crisis is the most severe complication of myasthenia gravis. MC can also weaken the muscles you use to swallow [<\/span>1<\/span><\/a>]. This means you might need to be fed through another method, like a nasogastric tube or <\/span>parenteral nutrition<\/span><\/a>. MC affects 15% to 20% of people with MG and typically occurs during the first few years following an MG diagnosis. Nearly 1 in 3 MC survivors may experience another episode [<\/span>2<\/span><\/a>].<\/span>
