Can a 40 year silicon breast implant have micro leaks? They gave me an MRI and can't find leakage.

I am very sick & doctors don't understand why. I'm a 76 y/ o female whose had silicon breast implants in 76. I had an MRI to r/o a leak but wonder if they can be missing something. I have chronic inflammation in my lungs ( non smoker) healthy heart, no other underlying but have serious chronic fatigue ( was very busy body up to a year ago) and can't breath well. Oxygen level is ok despite feeling oxygen starved .
