I've had a very small dose of botox done 5 days ago and about 7hrs later had a servere pressure feeling in my head and it hasn't gone. I'm having headaches, eye pain, leg weakness, dry mouth, light-headedness, swollen eyelids and puffy under the eyes.I feel spaced out. Is this normal? I went back to the Doctor who injected me and he said it wasn't normal to have headaches for so long and I probably have a tension headache caused my the injection but not the botox itself. He denied it being anything to do with Botox and said the symptoms I am having is unusual and maybe there's an underlining cause. Surely he's heard of these symptoms relating to botox before? I've heard so many stories of people experiencing unwanted side effects from botox. I would say my side affects are moderate. Will these get better?
