Shortness of breathing while takine tb m

Good morning I was diagnose with pleural effusion secondary ptb. I undergo thoracentesis and I undergo chest tube insertion surgery and it was successful, it was already remove but there is still fluid on my last xray for around 2 ribs. I am currently still taking my anti tb meds, and on ny june 28 2018 , it is exactly my 2nd of anti tb meds. Today is june 5 2018 and for some reasons, i feel some mild chest pain, kinda heavy but tolerable. I wonder if its normal or I have to do xray again.

Hi. I understand your concern s. It could be due to acidity. Better to follow up with your treating pulmonologist for a detailed examination.

Chest pain and heaviness sensation are common post icd and pleurisy. Rest, some the details I could not understand. Please consult your chest physician.
