Hi, I completed treatment for typhoid, and my Typhi dot and Widal tests have been negative for more than a month. For the past 15 to 20 days, my blood pressure has dropped to 80/50, and I have started experiencing palpitations and numbness in my head after stopping antibiotics. For the last 20 days, I have had similar symptoms as during the initial phase of typhoid but without high fever. I consulted a cardiologist and an endocrinologist. All thyroid, cortisol tests, and echocardiography are normal. Holter report shows brady and tachycardia. The cardiologist suggested that hypotension might be due to some infection and advised repeating blood tests and Typhi dot. Recent blood tests show lymphocytosis, decreased platelets (120), increased RDW SD, and raised liver bilirubin. Typhi dot and Widal are negative. Dengue, malaria, hepatitis, and TB Gold are negative. Stool and urine tests show WBCs but no growth in culture. I frequently feel dizziness, numbness in the head, along with ear, eye, right side abdominal pain, and occasional mild fever (99.2 to 99.8 degrees F). Kindly advise and help?

Persistent symptoms with hypotension, mild fever, lymphocytosis, low platelets and bilirubin raise concern of post viral or hidden infection. Brady tachycardia may be secondary to autonomic instability. Further infectious or autoimmune work up and consultation with a physician or infectious disease specialist is advised.

Dr. Kamran Suggests...

Take a ANTI NUCLEAR ANTIBODY (ANA) Test or Take a CBC Test (Complete Blood Count) Test
