Does Botox cause heartburn and gland tighness within 2 days of injection? A stroke recovery

Thank you for sharing your question. The problems you are experiencing are probably not related to the Botox injections. Please see your medical doctor ASAP for comprehensive evaluation.Feel better,

Botox should not cause heartburn or soreness when swallowing.  It may cause difficulty swallowing if too large a dose or injections are carried out to deeply in the neck.  It is important that you have your symptoms evaluated by your primary care physician.

Botox should not cause heartburn or gland tightness. I suggest you make an appointment with your primary care physician.

The symptoms that you describe would be very unusual with Botox.  Sounds like those symptoms should be best discussed with you PMD or go to an ER.

It depends on where you got the Botox, but this should not happen. If you get Botox into your neck in particular, you should go back to your doctor who injected you and ask further questions. Good Luck, Dr. Downie

There have been reports of some GI upset after Botox, but it is very uncommon. you don't way how old you are or your state of health but it would be a good idea to see your family doctor about this

Thank you for your Q.Botox does not cause heartburn.I don't know what you mean by "gland tightness".These may be atypical cardiac symtoms. Go to the emergency room for evaluation.Dr Karamanoukian#RealSelf100 Member

Botox does not cause heartburn, nor does it go into your system. It is a very safe treatment in experienced hands and does not cause systemic symptoms as you describe.
