Sweetie, I'm sorry about your health! I would suggest you set up an appointment with your doctor so you get tested out and see what is really going on and also get proper treatment and ask him any questions that you might have. In the meantime, Try to eat healthy breakfast! Its the most important meal of the day!
I seriously doubt you have TB. In fact, most people who have been exposed don't even notice the initial infection because it's so mild- less hassle than the usual cold. Your loss of a appetite could be from any number of things, as could the chest sensations- and TB is not high on the list of explainations. I don't eat breakfast much either- can't face food early in the morning. And I definitely do not have TB. If you are that worried, go see the doctor and get a skin test, which will settle the question in 48 hours time. While you are there, you can ask about the coughing/sneezing chest discomfort, and get advice on how best to gain some weight. In the meantime, calm the imagination there. Even worst case scenario and the TB test is positive- you still don't likely have active TB, and there is medication that will take care of things and treatments that will work. Quit listening to hoofbeats and thinking unicorns here. Most often it's still just a horse, unless you live in Africa and then it might be a zebra. Just go see the doctor and set your mind at ease.
Tb causes weight loss, night sweats, (drenching, not a little misty) severe persistent cough with rusty sputum. Not common in those born in the USA, immigrants have a much higher incidence of exposure to TB, and most of those people do not have active TB. If you test positive to TB, a chest xray will be done and sputum cultures will be done if you are actually infected with the disease. Once it is determined that the TB is Latent, (if it is) meaning you are not sick yet, you just have antibodies to TB indicating exposure to someone who actually had the disease. Latent tb cannot be transmitted to others, while active TB is transmittable. 9 months of medicine called INH with a vitamin b6 with offer some protection against latent TB developing into active TB.
What you should probably work on is your out of control anxiety.
first, go get a tb test. It is a skin test. If it is positive , you need to have a chest xray to see if you have tb in your lungs. If it is negative, you don't have tb but may be suffering from other types of respiratory infection.
If you live in the San Joaquin valley of California, you should have yourself tested for the respiratory illness that is endemic in the area, called coccidiodomycosis.
You need to see a physician. Internet consultation is a poor substitute to seeing your doctor.
