Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If it is central muscle dystrophy (CMD) then MRI brain should be abnormal. So first get done MRI brain. Also get done muscle biopsy because it will show atrophic changes in CMD. Steroid trial should be started. Oral steroids is treatment of choice for CMD. If you are improving on Steroids then possibility of CMD. So consult with neurologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
