Can Dysport Cause Heart Issues?

DivinemoonSep 13, 2010
Hello, I had Dysport injections that were performed by my licensed dermatologist. He had been using Botox in his practice for years and had just started using Dysport. I had Botox previously with no complications. After Dysport injections, hour later I had shortness of breath, dry mouth, elevated heart rate (136). My family doctor had me go to ER where they treated me for a severe allergic reaction. I am now back home, feel very sick and worried about long term damage this could cause.
