A member asked:

Does hcg cause heart problems while takin it...its my first day taking it...if having chest pains after taking should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest Pain: If you are having chest pain, you should be seen immediately. Go to the er if your doctor is not available. Secondly, not sure why you are taking hcg, but there is no scientific evidence that it helps with weight loss. The "hcg diet" is very unhealthy.
