What should be monitored post-exercise in MG patients?

• A. Blood pressure changes
• B. Muscle and joint pain
• C. Sleep quality
• D. Nausea

Answer: (B)

Post-exercise monitoring in MG centers on how the muscles respond to activity. Myasthenia gravis causes fatigable weakness, which typically worsens after use. Watching for changes in muscle performance and any new or increased muscle or joint pain helps identify overexertion and how well rest and pacing are working to prevent a drop in strength. The other factors listed—blood pressure changes, sleep quality, or nausea—are less directly tied to how MG muscles handle post-exercise, so muscle and joint pain is the most relevant signal to watch.
