General Surgeon, Dr. Shinas Hussain's Response

Hello,

Possible neuromuscular causes like lambert Eaton syndrome must be ruled out. Consult a neurologist and get evaluated. Detailed evaluation is required to find out the exact cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Shinas Hussain, General & Family physician
