Hyperthyroidism is short for hyperthyroidism, and hyperthyroid myopathy is one of the special clinical manifestations of hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroid myopathy can be manifested as dysphagia, respiratory muscle paralysis and other symptoms, and there is individual variability in the clinical manifestations of hyperthyroid myopathy. 1. Acute myopathy: it can be manifested as dysphagia and dysphagia, dysarthria within a few weeks, and in severe cases, respiratory muscle paralysis, which is life-threatening. 2. Chronic myopathy: It occurs in 80% of Graves’ disease patients, with slow onset, mainly involving proximal muscle groups, manifested by progressive muscle weakness, difficulty in climbing stairs, lifting shoulders, squatting and standing up, and often with muscle atrophy. About 1% of patients with Graves’ disease can be combined with myasthenia gravis, which manifests as bilateral ptosis, ocular dyskinesia and diplopia. It is recommended that patients with hyperthyroid myopathy should go to regular hospitals in time, complete the relevant examinations and standardize the treatment under the guidance of doctors to avoid delaying the condition.
