I'm really worried about my mom. She's been on the AKT4 kit for her pulmonary TB, and ever since she started the medicine, she's been feeling completely exhausted, both morning and night. She's also experiencing dizziness and itchy skin at night, which is unusual for her. These symptoms only appeared after she began her treatment. Could these be side effects from the TB medication? Should we consider adjusting her dosage? She also has high blood pressure, but no diabetes. What do you think we should do?
