Some people do experience dizziness and loss of balance as a migraine symptom. These symptoms can occur with or without a headache being present. They usually last from about 5 minutes to an hour. How often are you experiencing them? Have you only started to feel dizzy and off balance after having the botox? If these symptoms have only started after having the botox you may want to discuss then with your specialist.

Its best to let your neurologist know as this is not a usual side effect of Botox. Usually some people experience discomfort at the injection site and droopy eyelids. You may have a virus which is causing you to feel dizzy, ear infections can sometimes make you feel dizzy and off balance too.
