not serious, may take some time to go away

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.

Most people start to see an effect of Botulinum Toxin (Botox)within a few days to 2 weeks, and the effect usually lasts 4 months before waning. No serious systemic side effects are encountered with the doses typically employed.
Your current symptoms of feeling of blood rushing to top of head & dizzy spells may be due to some other unrelated cause but if it is due to Botox, it is likely to be there for sometime.
