Mayo Clinic doctors who have training in nervous system conditions (neurologists) and other specialists work closely as a team to diagnose myasthenia gravis. In Mayo Clinic's system, doctors usually can complete your testing and diagnosis within two or three days and develop your treatment plan soon after diagnosis.
Mayo Clinic offers many resources to thoroughly test and accurately diagnose people for myasthenia gravis, including an electromyography lab, an immunologic lab and a muscle research laboratory.
Your doctor will perform a thorough physical exam and review your symptoms, including signs of muscle weakness that improve with rest. Your doctor will review your medical history. In the physical exam, your doctor may test your reflexes, muscle strength and tone, senses of touch and sight, gait, posture, coordination, balance and mental skills. Your doctor and other specialists also may conduct several tests to diagnose myasthenia gravis.
