Question: Yesterday I had botox between my eyebrows and lipfiller with lidocain. After the procedure I start feeling very sick, heart palpitation, dizzines, warm flashes, breathing heavly,light headed.this exttreme symptoms lasted about a couple of hours till i went to bed. This symptoms are because i had severe side effects to lidocaine from the numbing cream that was aplied on my mouth or the lidocaine found in the filler? Today i still feel light headed, is like a have an attention deficit, and also my voice Is thinner than normal. This is because of botox? Did I have a reaction to botox? How long it will last? Ps: my injections were made by a very known doctor, with the best products on the market. Im very not well, i cant perform any normal activity, is like I’m not prezent or conected to the reality somehow.

Brief Answer:
Could be due to side effects of botulinum toxin injection

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service.
I have gone through your query and noted your concern.

Flu-like symptoms, dizziness, tiredness, difficulty in breathing, speaking and swallowing are some of the side effects of botulinum toxin injection. They are self-limiting and usually resolve in 3-5 days, gradually lessening over time.

Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if you need any more assistance.
