Hi,
TB medication can cause weight loss, loss of appetite, vomiting which are very common. BP of 90/58mm Hg is not very low and is a normal baseline BP of many people. Still IV fluids can help it rise. Shifting him to ICU must be because of other reasons.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sameer Maheshwari
