What Causes Chest Pain And Dizziness?
I'm 19 years old and 175 lbs...I recently lost about 30 lbs (through diet and exercise) but I don't know whether my weight loss could be the cause of my symptoms. I've been having difficulty breathing with minor chest pains. I also experience dizziness, although not very frequently, and I've noticied a change in my appetite. I don't know whether this could be a factor, but I was diagnosed with latent TB about 2.5 years ago and I've had yearly chest x-rays and took the prescribed medicine for 9 months after my initial diagnosis.

Your weight loss is not due to TB.
If you are concerned you can get T-spot test (blood test) to rule out TB infection.
