Many people experiencing similar health problems claim it stems from their breast implants.

HGTV star Christina Hall, well-known for her hit series Flip or Flop that she starred in with ex-husband Tarek El Moussa, is sharing some consistent health struggles she's been facing, as well as revealing what she believes to be the cause.

Hall posted a video on social media of herself doing meditation and light therapy, before explaining in the caption what she's been going through and how she thinks it all might be due to her breast implants.

She wrote, "Been super exhausted lately so on a kick to get back into my body. I’ve had some unexplained health stuff for years and now I’m considering the thought that this could be Breast implant related. Does anyone else have any experience with this subject? I’m curious on all the ladies take on this."

Hall then listed off her health issues, saying, "Some of my issues include: Inflammation, autoimmune issues (Hashimoto's disease, PCOS, Raynaud’s syndrome), unexplained skin rashes, joint and muscle pain, dry eyes, GI issues, SIBO, acid reflux, brain fog, hormone imbalances, swollen lymph nodes and adrenal fatigue. I test positive for ANA. I’m gluten free and mostly dairy free."

She ended the post by saying, "For now just working on detoxing and positive mind set. ❤️."

Recently, she also revealed in her Instagram Stories, via Insider, that she had a bad inflammatory reaction to her under-eye filler, which led her to have them dissolved, saying, "Never again."

Many people confirmed in the comments that they also had implant-related illnesses. 

One follower wrote, "Got mine removed and feel 100 percent better."

Another told a story of multiple people she knew who went through this: "I don’t have experience personally, but both a close family member and friend developed autoimmune disorders, inflammation, and rashes a few years after breast implants. They both had them removed recently, and are doing their best with detoxing and healing. 🙏🏽❤️ Hope you heal, and start feeling yourself again."

Many also mentioned influencers, bloggers, and other people who have been open about their own journey with Breast Implant Illness and removing their implants, such as Instagram users @diaryofafitmommyofficial and @saintiriswellness.

This continues to happen to so many people that it has been coined BII, although the cause of the issues isn't confirmed yet, according to the Cleveland Clinic medical center.

Last year, Tamra Judge of The Real Housewives of Orange County revealed that she had her breast implants removed because of BII.

Afterward, she shared on social media, via People, "I know it sounds crazy but I woke up today with rosy cheeks , No sinus congestion and happy thoughts. I'm hoping I will continue to see health improvements as the weeks go on 😊."
