Can Botox Cause Heart Problems?

January 28, 2010
Asked By:JC1974 in Australia

I've been to see a doctor about it who gave me an ECG and rook blood tests - all of which were normal. He said that although he knows little about Botox, the palpitations probably are caused by this.Could palpitations caused by Botox be dangerous? I am getting them sometimes during the day and almost every night when at rest for hours. Everyone says that Botox I so safe, and I went a reputable surgeon, so how can this happen?
