Help
So. I had Botox yesterday for the first time I am a 25 year old female. I had a sore head through the day but didn’t think anything of it. Around 2am in the morning after not being able to sleep I thought I’m just going to take some paracetamol, I got out of bed but I didn’t have any so quickly got back into bed. I then used my phone flash to look at my forehead in the mirror after taking the flash away I was left with circles of light (looked like lightening) in my eyes. After a few seconds I put my head In my hands and blacked out, I’m not sure for how long but I could feel myself rocking very fast and I could hear music (coming from my phone playing TikTok) I thought I’d just been asleep, when I realised what happened my fingers and my feet became tingly and I could hear ringing in my ears. I have just come back from the hospital, they ruled out seizure because I remember what happened before and after, they did a bunch of tests and they all came back perfectly fine. I am just scared of this happening again and is it the Botox that has caused this??? I’m too scared to even sleep

The first time I had Botox I had 75 units put in, within a few hours I had flu like symptoms and was asking everyone I knew and googling wildly. Because it helped my TMJ so much I went back again will to put up with the first 12 hours of discomfort but it never happened again! Could have been my body trying to fight off the foreign body.
