Yes, dizziness can be a symptom of myasthenia gravis (MG). According to the knowledge base, dizziness is mentioned as a symptom associated with ocular myasthenia gravis, particularly when experiencing double vision. Additionally, hot weather can worsen MG symptoms, which might explain why your daughter feels dizzy when moving from the car to the store in the Texas heat.

To manage this, consider:
- Keeping cool with air conditioning.
- Taking shorter, cooler showers.
- Drinking iced beverages.
- Limiting physical activity to avoid overheating.

Always consult with her neurologist for personalized advice.

I use my cane all the time, my rolling walker when out at the store (it has a built in seat) and I always have cool packs with me to place on my neck. They help somewhat, but Texas summers are brutal!
