Brief Answer:
hCG

Detailed Answer:
Sorry to note this side effect. It is known to occur due to hCG. However there is no direct immediate treatment for this.

If you are taking hCG for weight loss benefits, I would like to emphasize that it is not effective for this purpose. The FDA has not approved it for this use.In fact, it is considered unsafe when used like this. So you should stop using this. Once you do, the side effects should settle down within days as it does not last in the body very long.

If you are using it for other medical situations like ovulation induction as part of reproductive assistance, then check with the prescribing doctor how to go about the situation now because there will be a series of injections involved.

Follow up

Detailed Answer:
No, not on an online forum like this.

If you are severely emotional you can seek professional help from a psychiatrist or family doctor to see if medication can be prescribed for you.
