Myasthenia Gravis
About Myasthenia Gravis
Advanced Neuromuscular Care Experts
Myasthenia Gravis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes weakness in voluntary muscles. It occurs when communication between nerves and muscles is disrupted, leading to fatigue and reduced muscle strength, especially after activity. At Preetham Neuro Centre, Dr. Preetham Reddy provides expert diagnosis and advanced treatment for Myasthenia Gravis. With over 13 years of experience, we focus on early detection, symptom control, and long-term disease management for patients in Chandanagar, Madinaguda, BHEL, and Hyderabad.

FAQs
Myasthenia Gravis is an autoimmune disorder causing muscle weakness due to impaired communication between nerves and muscles.
It is caused by antibodies blocking nerve-muscle signals, often linked to thymus gland abnormalities affecting immune system function.
Early signs include drooping eyelids, double vision, muscle weakness, and fatigue worsening with activity.
It is not completely curable, but treatments can effectively control symptoms and improve quality of life.
Consult a neurologist if you notice persistent muscle weakness, vision problems, or difficulty speaking, swallowing, or breathing.
Yes, severe cases can affect breathing muscles, leading to a life-threatening condition requiring immediate medical attention.
Epilepsy & Seizure Treatment
Advanced Care for Seizure Disorders
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder caused by abnormal electrical activity in the brain, resulting in repeated seizures that can affect movement, awareness, and overall quality of life. These seizures may vary from mild episodes to severe convulsions depending on the condition.
At Preetham Neuro Centre, we provide comprehensive epilepsy care with a strong focus on accurate diagnosis, personalized treatment, and long-term management. Under the expertise of Dr. Preetham Reddy, patients receive evidence-based care designed to control seizures, reduce frequency, and improve daily functioning and long-term brain health.
Symptoms of Epilepsy
Identify Early Warning Signs
Epilepsy symptoms vary widely, but early identification helps ensure timely treatment, better seizure control, and prevention of serious neurological complications.
Seizures / Convulsions
Sudden jerking movements of body due to abnormal brain activity
Loss of Consciousness
Temporary blackout or unresponsiveness during seizure episodes
Confusion / Memory Loss
Difficulty remembering events or feeling disoriented after seizures
Unusual Sensations
Fear, anxiety, or déjà vu feeling before seizure starts
Body Stiffness / Falls
Sudden muscle stiffness or unexpected falls without warning
