Minoxidil heart

[frankk]

Hey everyone!
I started with Rogaine 5% liquid 6 days ago. After only two days, I felt that my heart beats harder, faster and sometimes it hurts a bit, too. I booked time and visited the doctor on day 3.
The doctor said it is a listed side effect of Rogaine and that I can continue using for 2 weeks. And if the side effects were still here, I should stop using Rogaine.
I do not think the side effects will stop if I'll be honest, I was wondering if anyone here on the forum can help me, guide me or give some suggestions what I can do? Many here on this forum know a lot more than I know.
Maybe someone here on the forum had the same problem or similar.

Maybe I should use Rogaine 2% instead of 5%? It might work? or will it change anything with my hair if I change the product?

Another option that I came to think of is to continue with 5% but only apply once a day instead of two times, (1ml/day). Can i get Rogaine to work with only one application per day?

Someone who has experience or knowledge about this? Or should I give up on Minoxidil?

I would follow the doctors instructions. If the problems continue, then stop.

I had a case of arterial fibrillation a few months back but I think it was more because I was using it on my beard area in addition to my scalp. I stopped putting it on my face and it never happened again. My beard still sucks though.
