Symptom #3: Fatigue

General fatigue is another important symptom of tuberculosis. A person will feel constantly tired and with a lack of energy. No matter how much sleep and rest a person gets even daily activities become too difficult or impossible to perform.

This extreme tiredness and lack of energy occur because of the body’s attempt to fight the infection, lack of proper nutrition and loss of appetite, difficulties breathing, difficulties sleeping because of fever, chills, and night sweats, etc. Other than fever and fatigue, certain patients with primary pulmonary tuberculosis, especially young children, may not exhibit additional symptoms.
