I had botox in my glabella and forehead yesterday. Can botox travel down the bridge of your nose to your sinus area/cheeks?

The nurse said she did 25 units, 15 to the labella and 10 to the forehead for horizontal lines. I've since read that botox in the frontal muscle can cause droopiness. She rubbed my botox immediately after injection in an upward fashion. I told her I thought this was couterindicated and she said yes, downward for pitosis. I feel like botox travelled down the bridge of my nose and I feel some effects on my sinus area. If these muscles are affected can it cause issues with breathing? Other issues?
