Question 1

I'm 26 and I've noticed that my hairline is receding, especially around my temples. I saw a dermatologist and they recommended I use Hair Joy 5 Minoxidil foam. I've started using it, but I'm experiencing a rapid heartbeat and I'm getting anxious about possibly having chest pain. I really want to keep using the minoxidil, but the side effects, especially the palpitations, are really worrying me. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

If you are experiencing rapid heartbeats and are worried about chest pain, you should discuss this with your dermatologist. They may recommend adjusting the dosage or trying a different formulation of minoxidil. In the meantime, you can consider using a different hair growth product such as "Rogaine" foam which contains minoxidil and is known to have fewer side effects. The recommended dosage for Rogaine foam is usually 1g applied to the affected area twice daily. Remember to always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

You may be experiencing symptoms of an allergic reaction. To address the itching and redness, you can take an antihistamine such as Cetirizine (10mg) once daily. For the headache, you can take Acetaminophen (500mg) as needed for pain relief. However, it is important to identify and avoid the trigger causing your symptoms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
