Have had Cosemetic Botox before, hadd forhead injection 3 wks ago. This time I experienced some headaches abd shortness of breath. Had blood test and found abnormal platelet and wbc. Is this a side effect, how long after injection would you expect this to last?

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. Botox should not have any effect on platelet and wbc. Speak with your family doctor to discuss your health concerns. All the best,

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Botox doesnt affect the internal circulation when used at cosmetic dosing.  I suggest speaking to your internal medicine physician.  Best, Dr. Emer.

This is not related to your Botox injections. Both signs are consistent with inflammation. It does need to be evaluated by your primary care doc and possibly a specialist. I hope this information is helpful for you.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon

To my knowledge, there is no know correlation between Botox and increased blood levels of platelets.  You may want to contact Allergen (the maker of Botox) and see if they have any reported cases of this being a possible side effect.  I hope this helps.

I don't know of any effect that Botox has on platelets.  I would recommend that you see your internist for a complete physical exam.  Best, Dr. Green
