Different Types of Periodic Paralysis | Neurologist Lists Various Forms Of Rare Disease | Ask The Ex

Periodic Paralysis is an extremely rare disease. Even within this rare disease, there are different types of the disease. The four main types are officially classified as individual diseases within the Periodic Paralysis family; Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis, Hyperkalemic Periodic Paralysis, Andersen-Tawil Syndrome and Thyrotoxic Periodic Paralysis. Our expert neurologist, Dr. Stephen Cannon, also explains a secondary variant of Hyperkalemic PP called Paramyotonia Congenita. Each type has slightly different symptoms, triggers, and diagnoses. Make sure you know which type of Periodic Paralysis you have.
