Robert Whitfield MD describes symptoms of breast implant illness, including fatigue, brain fog, muscle and joint pain, chest pressure, shortness of breath, palpitations, and gastrointestinal problems. He connects these to systemic chronic inflammation.
What are the other symptoms that you're witnessing with people who have a breast implant illness?
Sure, that's a great question. So the most common symptoms are what you described, which are fatigue. Brain fog is a very common one. Muscle and joint pain, chest pressure, chest pain, shortness of breath. Sometimes people have palpitations. They have a host of just gut trouble that may be an isolated thing or maybe in combination with other factors, they may have problems with intractable urinary tract infections, bacterial vaginosis, all sorts of other skin rashes and things can develop. So it's a whole constellation of things that are associated with chronic inflammation in their system.
