General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,

First of all, it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, injectable drug abuse may lead to contagious infections like tuberculosis or HIV. The signs you shared can be because of any of those.

Chest X-ray baseline blood work up and immediate consultation with drug withdrawal services should be sought.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
