About Loss of Strength

Loss of strength, medically known as asthenia or muscle weakness, is not a procedure but a common symptom evaluated by an Internal Medicine specialist. The 'procedure' involves a comprehensive diagnostic workup to identify the underlying cause. This includes a detailed medical history, physical and neurological examinations, and targeted diagnostic tests. The goal is to differentiate between true muscle weakness, fatigue, or neurological deficits. Common causes range from metabolic disorders and infections to chronic diseases like diabetes or thyroid dysfunction. An internist systematically rules out conditions to formulate an accurate diagnosis and create a personalized management plan, which may involve medication, lifestyle modifications, or specialist referrals.

PATIENT REVIEW

Ayaan Khan, a 58-year-old former construction...

Ayaan Khan, a 58-year-old former construction supervisor, had always prided himself on his physical strength. Over the past year, he noticed a profound, progressive weakness in his legs and arms, making it difficult to climb stairs, lift groceries, or even get up from his favorite armchair. He felt a deep sense of frustration and fear, worrying he was becoming a burden to his family. His primary care physician, after ruling out common causes, referred him to an Internal Medicine specialist for a comprehensive workup. The doctor, suspecting a neuromuscular disorder like myasthenia gravis or a metabolic myopathy, recommended a series of diagnostic procedures, including blood tests for specific antibodies, electromyography (EMG), and potentially a muscle biopsy. Ayaan was anxious about the tests, especially the EMG's needle probes, but found the medical team patient and reassuring. The EMG confirmed abnormal muscle responses, and subsequent blood tests revealed elevated acetylcholine receptor antibodies, leading to a diagnosis of myasthenia gravis. Starting treatment with pyridostigmine and prednisone brought gradual but significant improvement. Within two months, Ayaan regained much of his strength and independence. His emotional journey moved from fear and helplessness to immense relief and cautious optimism, allowing him to enjoy playing with his grandchildren again.
