Generalized myasthenia gravis (MG) is a type of myasthenia gravis where muscle weakness spreads from the top of the body downward. Initially, symptoms may affect the face, jaw, and neck, known as bulbar weakness. This can lead to difficulties with:

- Chewing
- Swallowing (dysphagia)
- Talking (dysarthria), causing speech to sound nasally or slurred
- Controlling facial expressions

As the condition progresses, muscle weakness can spread to the arms, hands, and legs, making activities like standing up, climbing stairs, or lifting arms over the head challenging.
