If you have latent TB, you will not have symptoms unless the disease becomes active. Most people don't know that they have latent TB. Symptoms of active TB may include: * Ongoing cough that brings up thick, cloudy, and sometimes bloody mucus (sputum) from the lungs. * Fatigue and weight loss. * Night sweats and fever. * Rapid heartbeat. * Swelling in the neck (when lymph nodes in the neck are infected). * Shortness of breath and chest pain (in rare cases). Sometimes, when you are first infected, the disease is so mild you don't know you have it. This is also true for people with latent TB because they have no symptoms
