Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms could be related to inflammation or to implanon adverse effects.

I recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and performing some tests to investigate for the possible causes:

- a resting ECG
- some blood lab tests (complete blood count, muscular enzymes, PCR, sedimentation rate, blood electrolytes, thyroid hormone levels).

If all these tests result normal, you should consider those symptoms related to implanon adverse effects.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Best wishes,

Dr. Iliri
