Taking HCG Drops, Weight Loss, Started Menstrual Cycle Again, Chest Pain. Side Effects Of Medication?
I am a 50 year old nurse taking HCG drops for weight loss . I have begun menstrating after years of none and think I may be experiencing chest pain ...are these side effects of the HCG? I have been on the diet for some time...perhaps I am taking too much HCG in a day? I diet daily because I have had body image issues for the last 35-40 years. I weigh approximately 120 pounds and stand 5 4 inches tall... What are your thoughts. Thank you

Firstly HCG has not been approved by FDA for weight loss.
And it's safety and efficacy are not regulated.
For long term it is not effective.
