Having Giddiness, Calf Muscle Pain And Higher LFT Levels. Stopped ATT Medication. Chest X-ray? Recurrence Of TB?
I am 25 years old female and was on ATT for 8 months. Doctor at first advised me for 09 months of ATT but i developed higher levels of LFT, Giddiness and Calf muscle pain during my 8th month so the doctor after seeing my X-ray and chest advised me to stop the ATT medication. Now it is 03 months after i stopped medication and my ESR count is 45 and i am positive for CRP and frequency of giddiness(just 2-3 seconds blackout) has increased. I don't have any breathing difficulty or pain in the chest. Why my ESR count is still high and CRP. Why giddiness still persists with increased frequency? whether i should go for chest X-ray to rule out TB reoccurence even though i don't have any chest pain or breathing difficulty? please advice me.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The calf muscle pain, giddiness and the increased LFT levels are due to the side effects of the medicines that you have taken for tuberculosis. These do not indicate a recurrence or relapse of the disease.
