Benign flesh jumping refers to benign myofascial fibrillation syndrome. The difference between this disease and acromegaly mainly lies in the characteristics of myofascial fibrillation, concomitant symptoms, examination results, prognosis and other aspects.
1. Characteristics of myofascial fibrillation: benign myofascial fibrillation syndrome is characterized by episodic, transient and mild involuntary muscle tremor, most common in the face and limbs, while myofascial fibrillation in acromegaly is more obvious and more persistent tremor.
2. Accompanying symptoms: benign myofascial fibrillation syndrome is usually not accompanied by other abnormal manifestations except muscle jumping, and some patients may have anxiety and fear due to suspicion of the disease; myofascial fibrillation of tachyphylaxis is more often combined with symptoms of myasthenia gravis and myasthenia gravis, and the patients may gradually develop dysarthria and communication difficulties with the progression of the disease.
3. Examination results: the electromyography and muscle biopsy of benign myofibrillar syndrome usually do not show obvious pathologic abnormalities; the electromyography of tachyphylaxis shows typical neurogenic damage, and muscle biopsy reveals myasthenic changes.
4. Prognosis: benign myofascial tremor syndrome generally does not cause too much damage to the organism, and the symptoms can be relieved on their own with the disappearance of the causes of the disease, such as tension, exercise, and medication; acromegaly, on the other hand, generally has a poorer prognosis, and the patient’s life span can be seriously affected by a variety of complications (e.g., respiratory muscle numbness, pulmonary infection).
To summarize, those who have symptoms of myofascial tremor should consult a doctor in time and under the guidance of a professional doctor. Do not make blind judgment and dispose of it on your own, so as to avoid improper intervention and adverse consequences.
