I've been dealing with this chest weakness for the past three days, but I dont have any fever, cough, or cold. I'm starting to worry because I've heard that chest weakness can be a symptom of COVID-19. Should I go and get a test?

It's understandable to be concerned about your symptoms. Chest weakness can have various causes, and while COVID-19 often presents with fever, cough, or cold symptoms, it can sometimes show atypical signs.
Key points to consider:
- Symptom monitoring: Keep track of any new symptoms such as fever, cough, shortness of breath, or fatigue.
- Risk factors: Consider any recent exposure to COVID-19 or high-risk environments.
- Testing: If you have had potential exposure or if symptoms worsen or new symptoms develop, getting a COVID-19 test is advisable.
- Medical evaluation: Since chest weakness can be related to other health issues, if the symptom persists or worsens, consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.
In summary, while your current symptoms alone may not strongly suggest COVID-19, testing can be a prudent step if you have exposure risks or if symptoms change. Meanwhile, monitor your health closely and seek medical advice if needed.

Could you provide some advice on what might be happening?

I've been dealing with a recurrent pericardial effusion and had it removed twice already. After the second removal, I was given steroids but stopped them after a month, and now the effusion is happening again. I've also been on TB medications for four months. I'm really concerned about this recurring issue. Can you suggest any permanent solutions or steps I should take next?
It sounds like you are dealing with recurrent pericardial effusion despite previous treatments. Since you have been diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB) and have been taking TB medications for the past 4 months, it is important to continue with your TB treatment as prescribed by your healthcare provider. In addition to TB treatment, your healthcare provider may consider prescribing colchicine to help prevent recurrent pericardial effusion. Colchicine has been shown to be effective in reducing the recurrence of pericardial effusion in patients with a history of recurrent episodes. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of adding colchicine to your treatment regimen for a more permanent solution to your recurrent pericardial effusion.
