Can I use and Epipen to ease shortness of breath after Botox?

jellycar27Mar 15, 2017
Hi, I have Botox (Dysport) injected in to main hairline (all around) over two weeks ago and since then have experienced difficulty breathing whilst running and swelling feeling in my neck. I went to A and E today and they took bloods and said it would go on it's own. However I am not happy with this as I am very sporty and want to exercise; would using an Epipen take me back to Normal since the hospital didn't administer anything and I am unprepared to wait? Thanks

Thank you for your question. It is very unlikely that the stye on your eyelid is related to your Botox treatment. I recommend having a consultation with an eye doctor for treatment. Best of Luck!
