Anxiety cannot make your eyelid droop.

Anxiety may cause breathing problems, feelings that resemble muscle weakness, tachycardia, possibly even tingly feelings. But it just can't make your eyelid droop, especially without you having any awareness of it without looking in the mirror. If I am wrong, somebody please explain how.

I was told that I just had psychological problems with my symptoms. I went to an ophthalmologist, and he immediately thought that MG was likely. I ended up at a second neurologist. He says that I do have MG even though the tests are all negative or normal. I still have some feelings of doubt, but I will have to say, the medication (mestinon) has really been helping.

You may or may not have MG, but I think that you need to get checked out by a good neurologist for sure.
