I just wanted to let you know i had about 80 units of botox done last summer (in my forehead and jaw muscles. I experienced severe anxiety and felt like i couldn't breathe or swallow properly. It lasted for about 4 months and i don't think i will ever be normal again after that experience. I have become a very panicky person and am always afraid i will stop breathing or swallowing. When i read your words 'like the back top of my throat is coming down', you completely described the sensation i had in my throat. I also always had a pressure on my diaphragm. I find people just tend to think you're crazy if they've never experienced it first hand. Previous to that, I had done Botox for about 3 years with no side effects whatsoever. I don't know if I became allergic to it or what. I do hope your symptoms have subsided by now and if you have any new information as to the cause of these side effects please enlighten me!
I myself am having the shortness of breath, pressure on diaphragm, heart palpitations, racing heart and anxiety symptoms. I had botox in my masseters and brow/forehead for a total of about 50 units 17 days ago. Did your symptoms come and go? One minute I will be fine, the next I feel like I can't breathe and my heart starts racing. How long did your symptoms last for? I can't take this much longer!
