I nursed my kids for 2 years...and started at a small B cup. Am very happy with my implants/lift, but I do worry about long term affects.

I have had shortness of breath for 3 weeks now. I had breast implants put in about 15 months ago. I have been to the doctor many times the past few weeks, had a cat scan of my lungs, an EKG, etc, and they don't know what is wrong besides 'it could be a virus'. I was on antibiotics for 5 days, and the shortness of breath went away, it was great. As soon as I was off of them, it came back. Now I'm starting my second round of antibiotics, and today I have a lot of chest pain right in the middle. I have no other symptoms, no runny nose, no fever, nothing. Is it possible there is an infection in my implants causing this??

Helpful review?

I had by implants about two yrs. 2008. I first developed shortness of breath, ct scans, chest xrays, heart drs.. Then my bowels, Colitis, then severe joint and muscle PAIN. Headaches, hair loss, rashs,I have been active my hole life and never this ill. I have four young children and I have days Im so sick I cant get out of bed. I have had problems getting anyone to believe me that it has to be the Silcone shells. My blood work comes back as Normal other then some sort of forgin toxin my body is fighting?. Strange since I never have been so so sick for as long as I have had these implants. I get them removed nxt. week.

Get them out ASAP! Before you get more sick! I got sick from mine, it started the same as yours-- short of breath-- and went downhill from there. I got so sick I had to quit working, and I had never been sick in my life. I had mine removed, and things improved a little, but I;m not healthy like I was. My advice is to get 'em out right away!
