Can I lay down during Botox injections to avoid vasovagal syncope?

chloe000
I faint when I have injections or blood draws sitting up as I suffer from vasovagal syncope. Can I lay down while I have the Botox injected? I'm nervous if I don't lay down during the injections I will faint and have to lay down after the injections, which could affect it. If I lay down during blood draws and injections I do not faint, so I hope I can do this during Botox. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
