Day 41 since I was injected with botox and diagnosed with botulism! My heart keeps flipping into irregular rhythms. Makes my chest hurt so badly and my breathing then becomes difficult, then I need oxygen. I'm uncoordinated, my hands tremor and I drop things. I have random muscle spasms, twitches and shooting pains and have developed a neck tic. Why is this even allowed to be used for cosmetic reasons and why wasn't I warned about anything?! These symptoms are NOT on my consent! Be real doctors!

Typically, difficulty swallowing occurs with deeper neck injections near the esophagus and/or voice box. Usually, superficial facial Bootx does not cause that issue. Check back in with your primary to look for other causes and also discuss with your Botox provider. Good Luck!
Anytime there is an injection, there is a chance of a blood vessel being hit. It will likely have no effect on the Botox. If there is a problem once everything has set in, your injector can add a little back into that area. Try to forget about it for now... It is likely fine.
Thank you for your question. This is a highly unusual situation, but any stress to the body including sickness, surgery, emotional stress, etc. can lead to Shingles, which in and of itself is a reactivation of the Chickenpox (Varicella) virus you had previously. In your case it...
