I had a TB test done for school and soon after that I started experiencing dizziness. It went on for a couple hours and my manager had to send me home. I went back to the place i got the skin test done and they tried to tell me that the test shouldnt have affected me. My co-worker said she got swollen lips after hers and other friends of my had some allegic reactions. Has anyone heard of people getting sick after a Tb test?

I work at a hospital and have to get a TB test every year. I myself have never had any reaction to the test, but some of my co-workers have. I wouldn't worry too much about it if you feel OK now. And don't worry, that doesn't mean you have TB. When you go back to have the test read, they will check for a rash around the injection site. That's how they can tell if you have or may have TB. I hope that helps!

No, you don't have to worry. I get the same reaction to the TB test. It just means that we were exposed to TB when we were young.

It may have been an allergic reaction, or a coincidence - maybe you were dizzy for a different reason. Have you had the test before? Call your doc, but don't worry - this does not mean yoou have TB.
