I had a heart transplant 6 years ago. Is it safe for me to try Botox for my severe migraines?

Question

I am on immunosuppressants and corticosteroids, and various other medications.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

As long as you are cleared by your Doctor, this should be fine. Treating migraines with Botox generally means Botox can be injected into the forehead, around the ear, back of the head, and neck muscles. Keep in mind, it takes 1-2 weeks for final results with Botox and results gradually resolve in 3-4 months. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Due to your recent surgical history and current medications, I recommend getting clearance by your cardiologist. However, it most likely is not going to be a problem. Botox can help with migraines very well if injected properly. So I advise to see an experienced injector.
