Chest Feels Tight And Joints Hurt Using Minoxidil

[GlobalPropane]

It's been around a month and a half since I started using minoxidil once a day. I've noticed that my face is a little puffy in the mornings, joint pain, jaw cracking, and my chest feels tight.

Should I stop using it?

Have you consulted with anyone over at Yahoo answers before hand?

This is indeed possible. I would contact a doctor.

Ok so people get affected by minoxidil in different ways. For me I get low BP even on low doses. I also get puffy face and chest pains. If I take a small dose of 2% my BP drops for 2 to 3 days and I feel sick! Also my joints start cracking and libido goes down a little. I even get Rosacea on my face. So for those that think I'm making this up u can't make up rocasea, it's on the outside, not hidden on the inside. I would make an appointment with the dr. And see what they say. I say if it makes you feel crummy then stop like I did. Best of luck, take care.

Yes i have experienced the exact same thing

last year i was on it for about 3 months and had horrible joint issues and it only went away when i stopped using minoxidil

Recently i used it again for a week and my joints are back to cracking which seems like a warning sign to stop because from my experience it doesn't get better.

I don't know why that is, i read it could be collagen related but it really sucks since its not a good way to live on minoxidil

I am thinking about taking minoxidil every second day to give my joints a break but people say there would be no benefit to that.
