Should I stop getting Botox in my forehead if it is causing broken blood vessels in eye?

zoozoo1155
I'm 29 and over the past year I have gotten 20 units of Botox in my forehead 3 times and about 2 weeks later I always wake up to a broken blood vessel in my right eye. It takes a week to go away and it's painless and I have no other side effects but should I be concerned? I'm considering getting a few units for crows feet and bunny lines but I worry I will end up with more broken blood vessels. What do you think?
