Is Weightlifting Safe While Suffering From Tuberculosis?
Hi, my doctor said I have tuberculosis, but I'm not sure if it is latent or active since I always coughed without closing my mouth around family and friends, and they're still healthy. Also, can I still do weightlifting if I have active/latent tuberculosis?

Hello,
Weight lifting is safe in patients with tuberculosis. You have to wear a mask in public spaces to prevent the spread of the disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
