Symptom #5: Muscle Weakness

Muscle weakness is also known as myasthenia. The term “myasthenia” is of Greek origin and can be translated to mean lack of muscle strength. Weakness can be divided into true or perceived weakness where true muscle weakness is caused by conditions such as muscular dystrophy and inflammatory myopathy.

Other causes include imbalances of electrolytes such as hypokalemia. Perceived muscle weakness occurs when the affected individual feels that more effort is necessary to exert a given amount of force despite having normal muscle strength.
