What Causes Tiredness After The TB Treatment?
Hi, I am a 47 year old male. I had TB in the chest which started 12 months ago and have just finished 9 months of antibiotics - just waiting for the all clear now. However, whenever I do some light exercise (swim or gym) I feel very tired for about 3 days and struggle with mental and physical stamina - is this normal in the recovery process or am I "over doing it" and should do less?

Hi,
Tuberculosis is a wasting disease causing weakness and low resistance.
Take high protein diet with multivitamin supplements.
You can do light exercies like swimming, walking etc.
Avoid going to gym for heavy straneous exercises.
Ok and take care.
