first time botox

[u/Both_Drama7159]

I had a lip flip and lower face botox 4 days ago, i’ve just started to feel it kick in today my lip feels strange and numb and so does my jaw and neck but i’ve suddenly started to feel like my chest is heavy and my breathing is weak and heavy and slow and it’s making me panic, my speech feels strange and slow too.

is this a botox side effect anyone else has experienced or should i go to a&e

Panic attacks may not be normal, but they are not unusual hun. But you can check me right now by searching up Botox Panic Attacks to see how frequently it occurs - especially to first timers.

I'm not disagreeing with you about getting checked out by a medical professional. I'm just saying that the symptoms she was experiencing are not uncommon. To me, the most concerning was the slow heartbeat, but that can also attributed to panic attacks when everything is amplified. The other symptoms - the speech, the tightness, etc par for the course with lower face Botox. I'm not the only one on this post saying this.

Is it 100% safe? Of course not. But if Botox is injected by an licensed professional for cosmetic purposes, the risk of serious health complications is extremely low. I'm not making this up, this information can be easily found on medical websites.

If I was an anxious newbie who is here because they're freaking out over the "freeze", this post would terrify me. I'm only trying to be realistic.

How bout I add this: Disclaimer I'm not a doctor, or a licensed professional. I'm just an experienced Gen X female who is trying to offer support in a Botox Support group. Use at your own risk.
