Symptoms of GBS can get worse quickly. It may take only a few hours for the most severe symptoms to appear. But weakness that increases over several days is also common. Muscle weakness or loss of muscle function (paralysis) affects both sides of the body. In most cases, the muscle weakness starts in the legs and spreads to the arms. This is called ascending paralysis. If the inflammation affects the nerves of the diaphragm and chest and there is weakness in those muscles, the person may need breathing assistance. Symptoms of GBS include:
1. Uncoordinated movement
2. Low blood pressure or poor blood pressure control
3. Abnormal heart rate
4. Loss of tendon reflexes in the arms and legs
5. Tingling or numbness
6. Muscle tenderness or pain
7. Blurred vision and double vision
8. Clumsiness and falling
9. Difficulty moving face muscles
10. Muscle contractions
11. Palpitations
