What Causes An Extreme Abdominal Pain?

I did a TB test yesterday, since then, I have felt short of breath, fatigue, coughs, and extreme abdominal pain. There is no lump, but I have a weak immune system. My IGM count is under 35. My IGM deficiency is a very rare condition. I was wondering if the tuberculin test can cause TB if your immune system is very weak.

Hello,welcome to the HCM,
Tuberculin test can not cause T.B,but it can cause allergic reaction, (cough,shortness of breath and so on). As you have low IGg levels it can also cause recurrent viral and bacterial infection.
My opinion would be discuss with your doctor if you may need IV immunoglobulins otherwise if it is allergic reaction , it will subside within few days.
Regards,Dr.Maheshwari
