Is Headache And Drowsiness A Sign Of Tuberculosis?

I was requested to get a TB shot for my employment as I work in a school. Last one was taken 2 years and 1 month ago which was negative. I got a TB test this Tuesday. Today I am to get it read. I have noticed although, that today I have a headache and feel drowsy. Not certain if that is a result of the TB test or not?

Hello,

The headache and drowsiness you are feeling today are not related to TB test. It could be just a co-incidence that you are feeling such symptoms on the day of your test reading.

You can just take a painkiller available over the counter like Acetaminophen 500 mg or Ibuprofen 400 mg and wait for headache to subside. For the drowsiness, try to get some rest, hydrate yourself and have more carbohydrates. I hope you have got adequate restful sleep as it may also cause you to feel drowsy.

If the symptoms worsen or you do not feel better, you should visit a physician for physical examination.

I hope this information helps.Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic.

Best,
