What Causes Severe Tiredness While On Biaxin For Lung Infection?
Hi, I had an appendicitis operation 12days ago. 3 days ago I started taking bioxin for a lung infection but I am more tired than before. I can hardly stand up to go to the washroom and at certain times of the day I am almost passing out from weakness and I just doze off for a couple of hours at a time. Is this normal? I do breath a little better, but then again I can t seem to be able to do anything except for being in bed. I thought I could walk more before without being out of breath. Before the operation I was in pretty good health, going to the gym regularly.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Fatigue is expected with infection and especially if your body is trying to recover from 2 infections.
If the fatigue is worsening (as compared to the onset of the illness not your previous state) or there is worsening of any other symptoms, then you may need to be reassessed.
I hope this helps
