I am a 47 year old female and had Botox injections in my forehead for the third time over a period of three years. Since next day I now feel heart palpitations, shallow breathing, heavy on my chest, low energy like I run a half marathon. Never had that reaction before. Also itching on my forehead. This is day number four only. Will that go away? I informed my doctor who gave the Botox and he said that has most likely nothing to do with the Botox. Any suggestions or clarification?
