What Causes Chest Tightness After Taking Botox Injections?
Question: Had botox injections yesterday & started experiencing chest tightness/pressure. Is this related possibly? Only condition I have is high cholesterol (at low end of the high spectrum).
Brief answer....given below
Detailed answer....
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
Botox injection is known to cause Headache,muscle weakness,stiffness of muscles,neck and back pain etc,however it is very difficult to say whether tightness in your chest is due to the side effect of Botox or due to some cardiac ailment.
The best way to remove the doubt and get relaxed is to get the cardiac system checked by going to ER and getting the EKG done.
A normal EKG would help in removing doubts and bring peace to your mind.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
