Tightness and pressure in forehead and brows 8 weeks after. Could the Botox impact the headaches in some way?

Andrea Marincowitz
I received Botox 8 weeks ago in my forehead, frown lines and neck. I used a very reputable doctor and the result was fantastic and I had no side effects. I recently experienced a week of bad menstrual headaches and in the last 2 days my forehead, between my eyes and my eyebrows feel very tense and under pressure and a bit heavy. There is no change physically. Could this the Botox that has been impacted by the headaches in some way?
